Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 This is just one place that has brake conversion kits.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1948-1952-F....c100005.m1851 There is also this kit available ----- https://www.performanceonline.com/19...E-BOOSTER-KIT/ And this one-------------- http://www.lmctruck.com/features/fa/FAC93.htm |

51 MERC...I don't see how using that pedal/MC/booster in your link would allow the use of the clutch pedal in the OP's F1 truck, when looking at the original pedal bracket below. I would find or build an adapter to mount a booster/MC combo behind the original pedal set. See original pedal set below. DD https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nasAA...Qg/s-l1600.jpg |

Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 The second setup from performanceonline works with your original pedals only needs a few holes drilled into the frame for a stabilizer bracket.

Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 Using the speedway conversion, you can use athe yellow pads which work quite well without power.

Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 15 years ago or so I did the POL type kit on a '50 F1 for somebody else. Pretty sure it had original pedal and just replaced the original master. Some drilling required for the bracketry. Lines have to be adjusted. Can't remember if a clutch would be a problem as this one had a 302/AOD automatic. I do remember that it moves the reservoir back to where it is hard to see/fill.

Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 You could also consider using a remote power booster. Midland Hy-Power units were used in some late 50's and 60's Fords but are hard to find now. PBR boosters are available either VH44 or VH40, 7" and 9" vacuum unit diameters I believe.

Re: Power disc brakes 1950 ford f1 The LMC catalog lists a whole kit (brakes, hoses, rotors, booster and master) that has an adapter bracket as an option for your stock clutch pedal. Don't know much about it other than seeing it in the catalog.
