Any one tried the F-100 brake conversion using 82 F-100 drums and shoes? F-100 has a smaller bolt pattern than the Bronco and F-150 but uses10 inch - 2.5 inch wide shoes. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...=Search_C0062_1120565_3650&pt=C0062&ppt=C0009
Wouldn't you need the backing plates as well? If the f-100 uses a big bearing rear I don't think the backing plates will fit a maverick rear.
F-100 smaller??? New one on me, I thought all full size Ford pickups used the five on five bolt pattern...
Should it not all be the same? Looks the same except the F-100 shoes are wider and the drum lining extends to the bolt face. I thought the same thing….
I believe O'reilly is wrong, Advance says the F-100 & F-150 use same drums, doesn't give size but I know Ford P/Us used five on five since at least the mid 60s... If you want 2.5" brakes look at Torino/Montego wagons, still will need matching hardware and back plate...
AutoZone shows the same thing. 5 on 4.5. Only used for four model years plus the hardware is same as my 9 inch Granada rear end.
