Is there some reason you want everything in one kit? The same parts were used for several years beyond the F1/F100 series. The brake drum are reproduced. This list was for F1 front brakes, so I don't have the F100 drum numbers.

Is it correct to assume that you are not planning on running Model A wire wheels?

I was just assuming a complete kit would be easier as a all in one package , I have the new drums , I guess it never occurred to me to piece meal it out , thanks , I was also thinking and wondering if the rear kits were the same as the fronts ? what site was your list printed from ?
Charlie Stephens - you are correct , I'm not running the original wheels .
 
JSeery , after enlarging it more I see it is from rock auto , thanks

Just a list I put together, there are several sources listed. Not sure now, but a couple of years back, Rock Auto had new old stock US made parts at very good prices. Not sure which year is the crossover, but the brakes went to the self-adjustors. I kinda like that setup, so used them. Just about everything interchanges on these early years, the only real difference between F1 & F100 are the hubs and drums.

Most of the hardware should be the same front and rear, but I haven't checked it out item by item.
 
I get most all of my F100 parts at the auto parts store save for the backing plates and hubs. I have even used the later F100 self adjusting kit on the early F100s. Just need to trim out the square grease retainer to work and one backing plate needs a slot to
help out the self adjuster if needed .....
