Good job. Thanks for the info on adjusting camber on these old trucks.

Love the F100 videos, thank you!

Having separate parts and being possible 40 years old, out of pure safety I think I would take the whole thing apart and rebuild it. New rotors and bearings, rebuilt calipers and hoses, and rebuild the kingpins and replace the bushings. That way you could also sand or blast and powder coat or paint the control arms. It’s a project that could be done as money affords.

This is great....look forward to the next video on brakes

Your video's are great. Thank you. Would love to see anything on the 4.9 (older engines).

Thanks for the information - I bought a 1972 Ford F-100 and it has the Front Disc Brakes and because of this video - my set came from a 77 - 79 F-100. I bought rotors for 1973 and will be putting them on - hope they fit.

too cool. i love watching your vids

Please reconsider doing the King pin's and bushings. It would be a great teaching video for so many f100 owners.

Jeff I converted my 65 F250 to front discs awhile back. I searched for used parts in my area and came up empty. The only option for getting the needed parts used was to buy a donor truck and I didn't want to do that. So I started shopping for a kit. I ended up buying from CPP. In talking to them I was told that this kit wasn't always available because of the shortage of spindles. Explains my search failure. For anybody out there with an F250, the F100 disc brake kit will work. The I beams are the same between the two as well as the king pins. Down side is you will have 5 bolt at the front and 8 bolt at the rear if you still have the Dana 60 as I do. Great video, thanks!

I remember converting my 70 F100 to disc brakes about a year ago. The installation went perfectly except for when I was bolting the tie rod ends. The disc brake setup came out of a 74 F100 and the thread of the tie rod on my 70 was not long enough for me to bolt it to the 74 spindle. Needless to say I ended up buying a whole new tie rod assembly for a 74 F100 because "while were here" the rubber bushings were shot. I also had to change out the master cylinder designed for a front disc brake setup in conjunction with a proportioning valve. Thanks for the info about the king pin stuff, that was something I totally did not think about when I had the I-beams out. 👍

Good morning sunshine you did it...

More great information.

Thank you.

I going to do that to my 65 FORD, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thanks for the video, I've got a '67 F-100 w/ power drums and have a few questions: 1 - Are the radius arms and i-beams the same between 5th Gen (67-72) and 6th Gen (73-79)? If not, it seems the only benefit to getting a full 6th gen setup versus aftermarket spindles is just to avoid messing with the kingpins 2 - I see kits with supplied spindles as well as kits that use the drum spindles, any reason to avoid the latter other than risking your spindles might be toast? 3 - Proportional valve? I always thought needed for discs but a factory drum setup wouldn't have that thanks

About the only place that can adjust camber on these trucks (like if you want to lower em with shorter coils) is a alignment shop that does box trucks and larger. A lot of bigger trucks have used beam type with king pin suspensions and have the ability to bend beams. Great show sir. 👍

Can you swap an 80s f150 I beam setup with ball joints to the older 60's and 70's trucks

Please do the Kingpin video soon, my bearing surfaces are all scratched up. Keen to see how they are refreshed. Love the F100 content! Any chance of talking about Bumpside cabs on Dentside chassis?

Can you do a video on the brake lines modification, master cylinder and proportional valve needed along with the modifications needed on the rear brake lines to fully convert the F100 to a front disc brake system?

Thanks for this video Jeff, I have been waiting for a good how to on this. I am swapping a 76’ onto my 69’ and have discussed the subject on Fordification. Two quick questions for you: 1). I don’t have a lift in my shop, how else besides installing the assembly can I test the king pins? 2.) Is it possible to pull the king pins and just swap the spindles ? Keep up the great work !

Great video! I have a 65 F100 and I-Beams, Controller arms, spindles, and brakes. I already removed the kingpin and disassembled the rest because I am going to repaint everything. IIs it ok to use the same kingpin when I reassemble? Are you going to have a video on completing the brakes?

I was parts manager at a Ford dealership in the 90’s and we had some camber adjusters for twin I-beam suspensions, but I can’t remember the brand name. But an alignment specialty supplier might still offer something like it.

it would be nice to speak on the master cylinder metering and what to look out for.

Can’t wait till the install that’s what I’m wanting to do on my 71 short bed. One question why would anyone bend the radius arms I understand the I beams but my radius arms have been bent for some reason.

Ok I’ve gotten me a complete disc brake setup from a 73-79 f150. I got everything but the proportion valve. Is there a way to tell what year the setup is. I have DJM lowering ibeams on my 71 now and was wanting to make sure I get the correct king pins for the spindles. Also will need to get new calipers or atleast rebuild the one I have with the setup. My setup has the shields that have the vents.

I was going to mention the eccentric bushings for alignment but I see someone already has. Don't know if they had them for the 70's models though.

I’m looking forward to a sway bar video. That’s something I’d like to add to my 74. She’s got a bit of roll to her around the corners lol

Do u know if f-250 rotors will fit on f100 spindles . They did make f-250 with a single piston caliber.

How about the bushings at the little end of the beams? How to replace those?

I know it is probably impossible for you to do 4wd, bit I have a 72 f100 with a dana 44 low pinion axle, I plan on doing disc brake conversion, so if you could possibly find at least a little info on what parts to use. forums get confusing by jumping all over the place and not giving a straight forward answer

I have a 1969 f250 camper with 360 a/t previous owner had autofab lift put in (bent I beams 5” , longer springs and aluminum blocks and longer u bolts inThe rear) I wanted to do a drum to disc conversion. Truck has brand new kingpins put in. Any suggestions on weather or not it can be done with the current height I beams?

I have the camber problem on the passenger side only. Only about 10k miles on the kingpins.

1965 f100 here. Putting a chevelle conversion kit. I am sure I will need king pins Any help would be great!!!

I'm sure it slipped your mind but I'm sure you are going to replace all the rubber bushings or at least transfer them over from the current set cause I thought you put new on current setup

Bushing replacement?

I thoughty I heard you say Cam is in Quarenteen,is he 0kay? He is a nice guy I would hate to see him hurt by Covid 19.

I kind of want to see a kingpin replacement, because.... Mine are shot on my 69'

That looked like a hood for a 77-79 Continental Mark V leaning on that tree in the beginning.

Now you see way people put Crown Victoria front ends under those.

can these disc brake transplants be installed on a 69?

Haha. Fixed the NPD audio...

You would think that with the popularity of the Crown Vic swap, these suspension assembles would be easier to come by.

Anyone got some for sell ?

Hey that’s my old truck you’re leaning on

A+++ guys heck my 2005 Chevy bummer h2 has single piston callipers hydroboost silliness gross it need bigger more pistons shet my 1981 toyota has 4 piston callipers

Hey you want to trade that old Fairlane wagon off

National parts depot is the absolute worst. Their customer service is absolutely horrid

Ford is batting a thousand when it comes to bad suspension design in the 60s. Sorry Ford guys but their suspension designs were pretty bad across the board for a very long time. I have one and I like some of the cars and trucks but they really left allot to be desired in the suspension area. I haven't seen the I beam bender in a long time which is why many used a torch.
