im sure someone has thought about it for the disc brakes but you have to think these trucks came with one of the most bullet proof rear ends ever made and disc brake conversions are out there for fairly cheap

I'm asking because I will be doing the CV front end swap and maybe the 4.6 liter as well. I have a complete CV PI and want to put the entire drive train in the F100. I'm sure for the price I paid for this CV that saved on buying a disc conversion kit.

Thanks Brockgrimes. I called, but they don't have a kit for the CV F100 swap.

Their kits are for IRS, not straight axle. So now I wonder if there is a way to use the 4 link style suspension on from the CV on the truck or would it be better to just buy an aftermarket kit.
