Do you have the e brake cables from the 9 because you may be able to convert them. I use a line lock instead of e brakes mostly because it was easier than trying to mix match parts. I had to use a different brake line from body to axle but other than that it was pretty easy. Good luck with the swap, plan on some long nights and tweaking.

www.broncograveyard.com has a couple of kits depending on what year axle you have.

Or you could piece your own together from 1978 Chevy K10 calipers, 1979 F-150 rotors, and brackets from a local 4x4 shop like the ones pictured in the broncograveyard kits.

I pieced my brakes together and it went together nice and smooth.

I prefer using Barnes 4wd to order brackets cause of his shipping garantee, and he is close to me. Brackets a set of chevy calipers, either cj/ford/dodge/ scout rotors and call it good.
