Disc brake swap

[Dangoley]

Will a stock front disc setup from a 77 f-150 fit to replace the front drum setup on my 73 bronco?

Yes, but you also need to swap the knuckles onto your ‘73.

‘76-‘79 F-150 and ‘78-‘79 Bronco knuckles and brake components are a direct swap.

Direct swap from knuckles out. You will also need some adapter bushings to use your stock tie-rods. The hole in the knuckles are a different size and taper. Bc or wh should have the adapters fairly cheap.

On a side note : the F 150 knuckles will lower your tie rod by about an inch - knuckles configured a little different . If that's an issue you can do a Tie Rod Over ; which is what i did.

Thanks for the info, I’m fairly new to the bronco world and trying to learn without spending a small fortune. My 77 f-150 donor was free so I’m trying to use what I can from it.

If you have the donor truck grab the ps box too. Theres also a tilt column swap if it has it.
