From my knowledge reading on here. F-100's didn't have factory disc brakes until 73. So you have some sort of a conversion. Do you know if it was an after market kit or perhaps disc brakes out of a 73-79 f-100? Disc swap from a dentside seems to be a common practice from what I have read, so you may be able to use disc from those trucks. Good luck!

take the pads off and take them intot he store with you . and tell them to check 73-79 trucks for the correct ones. do you have a pic of them maybe they are the same as f250 in that year.

fireguywtc is correct....disc brakes were not available on F100s until '73. More than likely they've simply been swapped on by a previous owner, and probably from a dentside truck.
