Update of my experiences with the Ford's brakes post-conversion:
• 1994 Ford F-150 Brake ...
Finally got tired of dealing with drum brakes and invested in a USA-designed and made disc brake conversion kit from Little Shop Mfg.
This video goes over my brief but exceptional experience with Little Shop as a company as well as giving you some tips which would have greatly shortened my install time.
Quick note on the grinder. While I don't recommend it, I had to pull the guard on my grinder in order to access the areas needed. Again - polycarbonate face shield. Also, I only had a grinding wheel and not a cut-off wheel on-hand, so that made the job slightly more difficult.
Little Shop doesn't have instructions for this kit yet. They provided me with a CAD drawing, some tips, and referenced C1500 instructions (starting at Step 10). These were enough to get me through the install.
Overall, I'm happy with the kit. Having only put on a dozen miles or so, I can't really recommend it yet, but so far so good - I would do it again.
