Disk brakes F250 1964 2WD 8lug

Post by Fred C »

I have a 1964 Ford 2WD with 4 wheel drum brakes. A 351 Windsor and power duel master cyl. I want to add front wheel disk brakes and power steering. My eight lugs are standard F250, and I want to retain them. How can I replace the old drums with power disk brakes???

I googled your question/quest and found a thread on a 63 another competing site. I am not going to post the link in Fordification because I have been reprimanded by a moderator for doing so in the past.

The owner used Chevrolet 3/4-ton, 8-lug rotors and had the drum hub turned so it fit inside the rotor. Calipers were also Chevy and he fabbed a custom steel bracket.
