'63 front wheel cylinders

Parts places I've been checking out list the '63 F100 as using different front wheel cylinders than what are used on '61, '62, AND '64s, and are hard to find. Is this true? Am I relegated to NOS or junkyards?

Thanks
Jeff

No one makes replacments or rebuilds the single push 63 wheel cyls. Gather up the parts and change over to a dual wheel cyl. Or upgrade to disc brakes.

If an authentic restoration is your goal, then it's possible to have the 1963 wheel cylinders bored and sleeved for about $55 each plus shipping.

Thanks for all the info. This is a daily driver so I'm more inclined to go the disc conversion route. Any suggestions on the best source for those?

ECI makes a popular conversion for the 61-64 trucks.

The ECI kit is 389.00. It leaves a few important things out like brake hoses and some hardware.

I reccommend the kit from Ron Mcgreggor www.nolimit.net for ten dollars more it is the most complete kit out there, includes new stainless braided DOT hoses,clips and all hardware. 399.00 Plus his tech support is really good if you have a problem. and instructions are easy to interpret.

An independent auto parts store ordered a pair for me and had them in two days along with shoes and all the hardware.
