What am i gonna need?

Post by Bama Boy »

So here is the story. My little brother in law is a LT in the Army. He is Letting me baby sit the 67 f100 while he is away in Germany and parts unknown throughout the globe for the next couple of years. he wants power brakes but is not too interested in the disk set up. What do i need to make this 67 basic model shortbed have power brakes with the current drum set up. Just has the 240 inline 6 with the single carb. BTW he is just the second owner of this truck. Any information as to brackets, boosters, and mc for the 67 would be very appeciated.

you need the booster brackets. anything up to 77 1/2 will bolt on a 67 booster. you will also need the 67 only booster. the 67 only booster has a sligthly shorter rod that only fits and works with the 67 brake pedal and brake light switch.

Seriously you can't! :fr: I have not found any other site that is dedicated to our Bumps, let alone has the knowledge of these trucks. Yes there is other Ford sites, and they serve a purpose. I like to talk to local people, so one serves that purpose. But if I had to pick my ONE forum to visit.... it would be FORDification. And besides, how much better does it get then the name of the site!

Good luck on your conversion. I couldn't imagine stopping one of these trucks with non power brakes!

:hj: Little :P on the cheby ad there mike :P Good #,s on mpg,but I'm running an 05 F150XLT Super Cab right now---give or take 80mls round trip daily with a 25 gal. tank----470--500mls between fill ups.Last time I checked it---put in 22gal.'s and and hit 440. That's right 19-20 mpg. Of course thats at about 70-72mph
and it has the 4.6 in it and maybe I added an K&N cold air breather and catback dual exaust :wink:

Just razzin ya though, its great to get that kind of milage out of a full size truck and I really hate seeing all these little gas saving death traps on the road anyways :thup:
I've had enough and I'm not alone

This is the greatest site for these trucks. Keith was a genius when he started it. Oh, and as for stopping these trucks without power breakes, it ain't as bad as everyone thinks. I stop my 72 swb just fine. The drums are what I don't care for. I have to adjust them too much, because the self adjusters suck on mine. Anyways, good luck on the swap.
