drum to disc for a '53 F250
Anyone had any luck finding drum to disc brake parts for a '53 F250? They are all over for the F100, but not the bigger trucks. Are there any later year swaps that may work?

Need 3/4 ton brake drums!
I am interested in any of the 3/4 ton 12"" x 2" brake drums if you guys are going to get rid of them and they are in usable condition. Let me know if you want to part with them.

Where did you find the F250 parts? I'm sure that the spindle diameter is different from the F100's to the F250's.

Red,
I have a 1953 Ford F250 with a brand new 9 inch rear end with disc brakes with a 4.75 lug pattern. I would like to put disc brakes on the front —I’ve taken it apart and got rid of the drums, they say the king pin is not the same on the F100 as an F250 so the kit offered to convert it over will not fit. I am stuck. what did you do?

If your chosen supplier doesn't want to sell you a brake kit, I'm sure there are other more reputable and knowledgeable vendors who will gladly take your money, and give you better tech support and customer service.

Thanks, Wayne for the confirmation. I do have an 53 F250. The rep from the company I called threw me off with the Kingpin being an issue related to the brakes. I guess it doesn't matter which company name -- your right I will look around for other manufacturers.
I thought the issue might be with the grease zerk.
Sorry for pulling up an old thread. I appreciate your reply.
