70 Ford Interchange Question

[FordTruck]

My Dad Has An 82 Ford Van That He Belives The Power Disc Brakes Will Bolt Up To My 70 F100.I Told Him That I Can Use 67-79 Brakes And He Says That 79 And 82 Are The Same.So Can I Put His Brake Booster And Power Disc Brakes On My 70 F100?

i don't know i would take some measurements of the spindles and stuff off of the van and see what you come up with. do vans have i beams?

[ima71 trucks are older]

IF the van has forged I-beams and not the stamped ball-joint I-beams, the brakes and spindles will work IF you also have 75-79 truck (not van) I-beams.

the calipers, and rotors on the 82 van will work with any 73-79 1/2 ton and light 3/4 ton disk brake spindle
The booster is completly different.

FordTruck,

Seems like I remember "Flatbed" or "Toolguy" puting 80's model discs & spindles on their one ton?

Some 1-tons kept the forged kingpin style I-beams well into the 80's, they also use the big 1" kingpins
