I used the ECI conversion kit on my 1960 for front disc. The rotors are from a 1978 F150 and the calipers are from a mid 70s GM. They have a piece of steel that bolts to he original spindle and different bearings in the rotors for them to fit the original spindle. You can see some photo's in my gallery. ECI can likely help on the rears, I don't know, I rebuilt the drums on the rear.
