Hi.

Thanks for including me.

I have a 1972 F250. 2WD, 300 with a four speed. My wife's grandfather bought it new. As some may deduct from my user name, I'm not a ford guy. I am here to learn and gather information for a few changes I'd like to make. Change from drums to disks on the front brakes, convert from manual to power steering and install a more daily driver friendly five speed.

All other interest will be involving finding some original parts including but not limited to an air cleaner housing, tail lights, rear fenders and steps.

Hope every one is having a safe and Merry Christmas and New Years.

By far the easiest way to get front discs on the BUMPSIDE is to drop a DENTSIDE era front Ibeam assembly under it, Swap the ibeam from a dent era into it). The dent era, (73-79) front twin ibeam suspensions can be readily found in boneyards still and also improves the handling a lot over our original bump era (67-72) tremendously. And love the sentimental story of yet another Bump saved from the crusher! Make the family proud.

Oh...and hang around we'll have you bleeding Ford blue in no time !

Yes, Ive read everything from you have to replace the entire front suspension to all you have to do is bolt on rotors and caliper brackets. Nothing seems to be definitive.
