my dad and i are redoing the brake system in his 1950 F1 and was wondering if anyone had advice as far as where to get a disc brake conversion kit?

 

Speedway Motors is where I got mine. You can get a catalog for free and mine had a code on the front for $7 flat rate shipping (may be able to call and ask for the code if they have one running currently). The kit was $279 for the stock 5x5 1/2" bolt pattern or $249 for smaller patterns. The flat shipping saved me $80. I spoke with them on the phone with a few questions and they were very helpful.

It was the best price I could find online for the disc conversion kit.

Here is the link:

was that for the front brakes?

 

straws, nice looking truck. its so much easier to start of with a solid piece. do you or anybody else know what the little toggle switch is underneath the push start button on the dash? mine has one too but the wiring was so shot when you touch it, it just falls to pieces so i wasnt able to trace it down. also if anyone know what the ***** under the speaker do it would help. a couple look like cables and a couple seem like maybe they had wires on them at some point.

 

Yes, that is for the complete front brake conversion. The link in that post is to the kit.
