Go to NAPA and ask for a spring kit for a 70 Ford F-100. These are 11 inch brakes and they used the same hardware up into the 80's.

Barry,
Not to highjack, but when did they go with self adjusters? My 59 F100 does not have these, but I would add them if I could.

I want to say it was 1964 on trucks, but It may have been earlier. The cars had them alot earlier. They both shared alot of the same parts. Your truck should have the plug at the bottom of the backing plate. Just go to NAPA and get a self adjuster kit for a mid 60's F-100 with 11 inch brakes. It should have the cable, lever and guide for the cable.
