Then answer the truck questions John and don't be a Dick. In the time it took you to post your bitter message at the beginning of this thread you could have copied and pasted a tech link for our new brother... I'm sure your first post to this site was a real headturner full of great info yourself with 17K plus of them now...
Stick to the tech (which you seem to know so much about) and stay out of the mudslinging. Try to be helpful and point guys in the right direction instead of discouraging them from logging on to the site for a 3rd time...
Cheers John, rant over, looking forward to reading some of that good tech of yours!
PS, dthomas620 is one of my best friends and a California Highway Patrol Officer. He's new to forums and is excited as hell about having an old Ford p/u back in his garage (who wouldn't w/ 47K original miles) so help him out...

HA! No worries fellas! Just trying to steer my bud in the right direction and I hang out in the Early Bronco forums mostly. Got on to this site for help w/ my power stroke.
He did find what he needed and I think he ended up going w/ a 4 wheel disc kit complete w/ booster. He'll be back as he's doing a resto mod job on it. He's already got an explorer serpentine setup on the front of the motor.
With that said, can I ask where you found the parts? Did you pull them off another truck or did you go for a full new conversion kit? If you did pull them off another truck, were you still able to use the drum master cylinder or did you have to swap out everything?
