what I beams can I use?
I need to replace my I beams on my 1968 f100 with drum brakes. What are the other years that I can pull them off of besides a 1968?

Why not pull them off a 73 and up and get the disc brakes too?

Re: what I beams can I use?
Fordification has that covered in an article. I'm surprised that you didn't find it in the plethora of information available on this site.
Read up and be enlightened... if not learned on the topic of I-beams.

Btw, the drum to disc swap article is also worth a read.

I had read it. It is more about converting to disc though. I just need to replace mine. From what I can tell I can use up to 74 off of f100s and most f250 but I wanted to confirm.HIO Silver wrote:Fordification has that covered in an article.
