I see you're new- welcome to FTE! Easiest way to find that out is to do a search on this forum. It's on here every week, it seems. The easiest would be to install a disc brake kit. I don't remember where, but I've seen 'em. I'm doing a 64 by putting it on a newer chassis, but that's a lot of work. I'm going that route to get twin I-beam, power steering, disc brakes, and modern engine mounts. Another route is to put in a different front frame clip. There is a 'sticky' on this topic in the 48-60 forum, w/ lots of options. Same info applies to your truck, pretty much. So do some searching; there's lots of info here if you look.
