56 Ford F-100 Front Brakes

We are putting together the brakes on my 32. We got 56 f-100 brakes on it. But we have no idea how they go together.

Is there a website with a picture?

Does anyone have a picture of the brakes?

I guess we could try to put it toghether without seeing it. But it will be like putting together a puzzle without the picture on the front of the box!

This is f100 on early backing plates.

Cool mutt! Did that come out of a magazine?

If you look at the Dennis Carpenter Reproductions online catalog, you can see an exploded view of the brake ***emblies.

Hope this helps!

Oh, by the way, you can get new brake drums from AutoZone for about $55.00 apiece (made in Canada); order them and they ship in a couple of days. I am using these brakes on the front of my '26 Tudor project.

 

Hi Nick here a couple of pics one is of a stock F1 Brake setup and the other of an updated F100 Brake setup with self adjusters from like a 1966 F100. The the left side is pointing toward the front of the vehicle for both.

 

There's a minor mode required on the bearings.

Check this page on my site for details:

can you hang 60's f-100 brakes on the 37 spindles? can you run the 60's spindles on a model a axle?

 

It's out of the American Rodder how-to on changing early to f100. Check your e-mail....

Thanks everyone! The hamb kicks *** for reasons like this. In 2 hours i got all the answers to my questions!

So, do i need to use this peice right here? Does it even serve a purpose?

Nick

 

Keep that on there keeps grease off the brakes.

 

I cut a small slot in mine...for the cable to go thru......the piece you refer to will NOT fit if you have the self adjusters installed......but will if you slot it a little....Trial and error ...cutting....

Good Luck.........
