F250 was the only truck to have factory disc brakes until 1973. then the F100 could /would have had them.

F350 also, but I know he was saying his 250.

F250 2wd had the option for the factory front disc brakes from 68+. It is very possible if yours is 2wd that they are factory. if not orginal, someone could have easily swapped out a factory set from another F250. If you can post a pic of them, that would be that easiest way for us to determine if they are factory.

It is 2wd. It does have a ranger front grill though but no other emblems and it did at one time have the three speed manual with the overdrive. I will see about getting some pictures.
