ok, so im wondering if anyone has ever tried to fit e-series falcon front disc's to an 70-80's f100 pick up. with the appropriate bearing, would they fit? what i am after is the falcon stud pattern as they are very easy to find rims for (i cant find s**t for my truck anywhere
 ). also, what would you have to do to ditch the drum rear end for disc? would that be a matter of just changing the ends or would you need to replace the whole diff housing? thanks in advance for any help. |

What year is you F100?
Depending on fit, I would look at the AUII/III hubs or the BA/BF Hubs and associated braking as it is a major upgrade from the E Series in the braking department, this will still give the the 114.3x5 stud pattern and offset shouldn't worry you too much with the F100. If fitting the AU/BA hubs would be too difficult then look at the Big Brake Upgrade kits. 69 Mustang upgrade http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-MUSTANG ... 487b17fbdc XY 330mm upgrade http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-FALCON- ... 20f73120f9 E Series 330mm upgrade http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FALCON-BIG-B ... 27f2cb8505 Not sure on the rear but depending on the track, you could look at an XC type 9" rear or maybe look at modifying the brake set up from a later model Falcon/Territory to fit. |

its a 1978 truck. would the axle's or shafts or what ever you call them be a thicker diameter on the f truck in turn being to big to fit thought a falcon disc/hub? does that make sense?

Do you have an F100 stub axle to measure up?

A better idea IMHO would be to fit the whole Falcon E-series front suspension and diff using this kit;

Hello,
From memory the F100 pattern is the same as Daihatsu, Suzuki and Lada. Now the Landcruiser is 5 bolt, it may also be the same stud diameter. It may give a better chance of finding some at a wrecker. Even new Sunraysia's could be worth a look.
