Power brake conversion for '73?

Howdy all,
Can anyone tell me what booster and master cylinder will work with my '73 F-100? It has front discs with standard brakes right now. Will car units bolt up? I know of a '68 Thunderbird unit at the wreckers, could that possibly work? Thanks.

A booster from a '73-'79 F100/150 with discs up front will work. You'll also need the pushrod for the booster plunger.
