I bought a complete disk brake conversion kit from CPP (Disc Brake, Steering and Suspension Products for classic Chevy and Ford cars and trucks). Midfifty gets the kits they sell from CPP. I like the kit, and would do it again.

The folks at Midfifty are generally pretty good, and you won't save much (if any) buying direct from CPP. I have found CPP to have excellent tech support, and I did use them a couple times while installing my kit.... I'm not sure, if they offer the same support when you buy the kit from midfifty. I would assume so, but ...

When relocating the grease zerks take your time and do it right. Who ever did mine did not do it right and they would not hold grease. It is not hard to do but just go slow and it will be ok and get the right tap (starter ) While you have all the parts off you might check and replace the king pins then it is a lot easier to relocate the zerks thats what I did.
