You sure can, but why stop there, if the 73 has discs swap in the complete I-beam and get the power disc brakes as well. I have 76 under my 66.

Chris, For a 2X4 just unbolt everything from the pedal to the wheel and rebolt it in on your truck. You have to relocate the brake switch and the pedal travel.
I put in a stalk on the back of the intake and the booster and auto tranny share.
hope this helps

thanks alot,i really appreciate it. it is hard to get the truck set up right when your only 16 and your first project is a 66 F-100(better than a honda). so basically all i will need top hook it up is to get the new stuff along with an assortment of vacuum hoses,T's and what not?

Chris, One of the best things that you can do is buy your donor and bring it home or to somewhere that you can harvest every useable, or saleable part off of it. When you have it stripped to the bone have a salvage yard pick it up for crush weight.
The little things that you forget or leave off will kill you. Each time you go back to the bone yard the owner see $$ in his eyes.
