f250 disk brake question.

Does anyone have any idea if 65 and up f-250 disk brakes would work on a 64 f250?I am swapping a cummins in and am going to need the additional stopping power.

Don't think the Twin I-beam and straight axle parts swap.

Power steering would be on the list with the brakes.Once I get it driveable that will be next on the list.

It sure would be nice if there was a kit for this..

Crazy thought here but I wonder what the chance are a F100 kit would work and have the rotors drilled out for the 8-lug hub... ???? :-)
