I've been planning on doing this conversion on my 56. I've seen the kit in magazines going for about $350.. I understand it's a basic bolt on to existing spindles. My truck has power brakes, but I have no idea from what. The truck stops nice with power brakes, but no where near the stopping and safety of disc brakes. I'm wondering if I will have to change my Master Cylinder if I'm going to convert the brakes to disc brakes? Aren't the brake lines the same as drum brakes? or does that get changed also.
