Front Brakes Issue

I was wondering how hard is it to convert a 1970 model truck from front drum brakes to power disc brakes?

Thanks,
RLAY302

It's all plug and play.

Like jowilker says, it's a pretty simple swap, and there's a article on how to do it here:

I converted my 1969 F100 from drums to discs by bolting the front end of a 1979 F250 under it. Not hard at all. I didn't add power but that is a matter of using the right master cylindar and booster. I have no problem locking everything up without power using only leg power.
