re: Found a truck, what do I look for before buying?
Again - all great info. I'll review the items on this site regarding disc brakes (there's something about rolling down a 3 mile hill with a trailered race car on the back that makes the idea of 4xdrums unsettling). There's a '69 F250 camper special around the corner for sale that I've looked at (some structrual rust issues), but wonder if that'd be a candidate for a front brake swap?
I'm going to try to attach a few photos.

The F250/F350 is an easier disc brake swap than the F100.
