    64 C 10 disc conversion

     



    Thanks in advance to anyone whom can point me in the best ( hopefully cheapest ) direction to converting the drum brakes on my 64 C10 to power disc.

    Not the cheapest in price, but quality stuff (which often ends up cheaper in the real world)

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Thanks for the link, it would be wonderful to just click and buy.. maybe after the paint is done..

    Don' suppose you have a parts list? It is so much easier to pick up a piece at a time...

    All you need is the spindles that except disc brakes,there is a number of venders.The rest of the stuff you can get from your local auto store.This will be all new parts.

    If you want even cheaper go to a junk yard and piece it together from a donor truck 72-84.
