Just swap in the 73 I-beams. They will bolt right up, and you'll be set.

Front discs became STANDARD on F100s and F150s starting in 1973 or 74. They were available as an option much earlier -- at least as far back as '67, and possible much earlier. Front discs were optional on F100s, and standard on F250s and F350s, from 67-72.
