48-56 FORD F1 F100 TRUCK DISC CONVERSION KIT 5-LUG SALE | eBay
Not a bad price. But $75 in shipping. I'd doubt you could fab up those caliper brackets and run down all the parts for that price. I'm sure they use some GM parts.

Dang! Is it just me, or didn't these kits cost MUCH more about a year ago or so? If so, may be an ominous sign. I know the economy sucks, but I wonder if these kits might be falling out of favor?

If the kit wasn't selling, they'd simply discontinue offering it, not lower the price hoping for more interest. You can only go so far down with the price before you go below your cost, and it's tough to stay in business doing business like that, hoping to make it up on volume. ;-)

Welcome to the forum, man. You won't find any make or model anything that has a direct bolt-on disc brake set up. It doesn't exist. Over the years to fill the demand, different manufacturers have produced custom brackets and bearing adapters to allow parts from several different vehicles to be adaptable. That means you have to buy some kind of adapter kit to make the hodge-podge work. It can be as simple or as hard as you want to make it. But either way, there's no free lunch doing a brake swap.
