Brakes

I have a 67 F250 CS. It has front disc brakes and rear drums. I need to replace the front brakes, dont know if calipers are bad or not. Problem is...I look on Checker Auto and NAPA for new brake pads and it shows that my truck does not have front disc brakes. I seriously doubt any previous owner changed out the entire front brake system. HELP. I need to find what pads to use, rotor wear, etc.

Thanks

I'd rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy!

It is an easy enough swap so he could have changed the brakes, but the F250 CS also had front disk brakes as an option - mine did in 1972.

I would try a different parts man. I ordered new pads and rotors through napa for mine several years ago.

Take the pads in to the parts store with you if you can. Most are 73 and up.

If you can clean the caliper off and check for casting marks, that'll give you an idea of what they are from. If they are quite large and stamped "Dayton", they are original. These calipers don't fit behind a standard 16" wheel from what I have heard, you have to run the Ford 16.5".
If the fit inside a standard 16" rim, clean off the caliper until you find a Ford part number. It will be something like "D3Txx", D= 70's, 3 is the specific year, so that would be a 73 part number.
