If Speedway doesn't have anything to fit it, let me know. I know I saw a nice disc brake conversion for them someplace......

Not sure how much different the '47-'59 brake are then the '63. My recollection is that Chevy really didn't do much in the brake department until a bit later - but what does a Ford guy know. Page 13 of my latest Speedway Catalog (still cold from the mailbox) shows a 47-59 kit.

SS Brake Co advertises that they can fit about anything:

Another is Baer and they do list a '63 kit:

Before I found a correct rear Wilwood kit at Speedway, Baer said that they could make up anything I needed.

wow, thanks for the replies guys, this really gives me some more options.
