70 - 76 Suspension swap?
I am currently restoring my 70 F100 and have the twin I beam setup off a 76 F100, what will it take top swap the suspension onto my 70' I want to go with disc brakes and the king pins look in good conditon on the 76.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Matt, that is an easy one. It bolts right on where the old stuff came off. It might be easiest to use the 76 gear complete, unbolt the I beams on their inside mount, and undo the nuts at the rear of the radius arms. Keep in mind you will want a correct proportioning valve and master cylinder to go with those new disks. DF

Thanks for the info, I already have a master cylinder off the 76, I will be using it for a core, My truck was equipped from the factory w/ power brakes can I use my booster with the 76 master cyl. I plan to get the proportioning valve in the next couple of weeks.( off a 77)
