Thread: 49 Poncho disc conversion

Tweet

does anyone know what vehicle would be compatible to swap disc brakes onto a 1949 pontiac silver streak? I want to do a conversion without having to buy a kit if possible
.
I've also been tossing around the idea of a chassis swap with an S10 but was wondering if there are other cars that would be a good match wheelbase etc. already with a small block. so I can lift the body & fabio it on.
I'm not looking for a show car just a smooth reliable baby mobile for my wife to drive

Any info to do with these cars would be greatly appreciated.

I doing a 52 Pontiac Fleetleader/Chieftain. Ecklers has a kit for the front disc on the factory suspension. And I believe there is a MII kit (49-52 Chevy kit) from www.nolimit.net in Cali. I'm still in the research phase. Post what you find.

They sell kits for early chevy / pontiac.

Paul Horton's Welder Series is excellent. He has kits for almost everything. You just weld together and the prices are quite reasonable.

Easy to follow instructions.

1949 - 1954 Chev and Canadian Pontiac use the 56" kit.
