dust shields

[Bob 2+2]

Hello fellow Ford truck lovers
I'm finally getting around to doing the disc brake swap on my 1971. Found a 79 donor truck and have everything except the dust shields which were no good. Anyone know if they reproduce them or of a good place to find NOS or if anything else will fit. Buy the way it's 2 wheel drive.

I have not seen them reproduced anywhere, but here are some places to look for them:

Anybody know what the difference is in a '76-'79 4x4 dust shield vs the 2wd? Those appear readily available.

I have some from a 73 that I would let go. I have no idea if they would work.
Let me know if you want them.

If OP doesn’t want I will take them, PM me.

I was wondering about the difference between the 4X4 and 2wd dust shields myself. Must be some difference but maybe you could make them work.
any one out there tried it?

[Bob 2+2]

Yea I'm pretty sure that the 73 dust shields will work on a 79. I sent you a private message. Let me know what you want and if they are in decent shape.
They are for 2wd F100 or 150 right?

[DuckRyder]

The obvious differences are that the 4x4 has a much larger center hole and 5 vs 3 mounting holes.

It might be possible to make an adapter but you’d have to try it, I would be likely to try another 2 wd application first though...

Robert, (DuckRyder) is spot on here guys as I owned a 76' early Bronco, (same axle tube) for some 20+ years and dissasembled it too many times to count for maintenance.

Bob 2+2 I got your PM.I can't respond to you because I'm to new to this forum.
They are off of a 2wd F100. Pm me your Email address and I can take some pics and send them to you.

[FLASH 1]

The 73 and maybe 74 dust shields HAS NO Vent in them as where the later ones has a vent on the dust shield to keep the brake rotors cool 4x4 and 2 wheel WILL not interchange

[Bob 2+2]

Thanks for that info Flash1. Must of made an engineering change sometime early in the 73 -79 models. Do you know if the 73 will sill still bolt on a 79?

[Bob 2+2]

Hey Booyaa138 I sent you another PM with my email. Flash1 posted that the 73 model dust shields didn't have a vent like the later models but as long as they bolt on I would still be interested.
