64 Disk brake conversion done :)
I finshed the disk brake conversion on my 64 F-100 yesterday and posted some pics in my gallery.It took me 3 days to get it done and what a difference in stopping.Running the brake line to the right front with the engine in is a PITA!

Redmanbob,
You don't have to remove the kingpins but,if you have bad kingpins it's not a bad time to do it when you have the frontend apart.I used the CPP kit they are in Anaheim,CA.It took me about 3 days to do it but,I wound up starting about 10:30 am each day.I'm near SanBernadino.

That looks very interesting and the price seems fair compaired to most stuff I've seen 700.00 for a whole kit sounds very good. But I have a 66 and it would seem the 64 is the last of the line with their kits ?? tell me it aint so..If it is well I guess the advice I was given to just add a power booster to my drum/drum setup will be best..as it's just a camping/boat tugger.

On the 65 and 66 I believe you can adapt the 73-79 PS and Disc brakes fairly easily.
