Will '81 parts fit

Post by Jwelch »

Okay, here I go again, got my hands on an '81 f-150 and want to know if the front disk brakes will fit my "70 F-100. Is it the same swap as with the dent sides, just swap the whole front end?

I'm not sure but I'm thinking if it is twin I's and radius arms..... Hook'em up they should work.

Thanks for the input guys. Maybe I will just see if it is a vacuum powerbooster, if so then I can just see about adding that like in other post. Anything to help stop my bumb!
