Thanks for the help on pics. Like I said she is a work in progress but all the hard work is done like engine, trans, axles etc. The body is all rust free except the one cab corner which I have and paint which I also have. Getting excited to see her done.

Thanks for that link, bro. I've been looking for a reasonably priced place that furnishes disc brake conversion kits. I also see they have x-over steering conversion kits as well...damn this is my next money pit site.

The rear disk brake conversion is definitely on my list of upgrades. I wish I would have just done the conversion first rather than redoing everything stock on my 77 F250.

BTW.....4x4F250, welcome to the site.

Unless you are going for an exact resoration I suggest switching over to hydroboost brakes.
