Technical F100 brakes interchange.

I'm looking for F100 front brakes for a my truck project and I'm curious if the 53-56 hubs, backing plates and drums are the same or interchangeable with the later 57-60 trucks. Any info is helpful

No.

 

drums are interchangeable but the backing plates are different.Ford used the same brake shoes from 1948 to 66 on these pickups

 

I can tell you for a FACT the drums and hubs are different from48-52 f-1and53-56 f-100... My GUESS would be they changed again in 57

 

the drums on my 60 F100 are smooth while the 53-56 have three ribs but they INTERCHANGE

 

Drums are interchangeable from '56-'63; but the '57 and later hubs and backing plates do not fit the earlier spindles.
