    Lightbulb brake time(i hope)

     



    (^_^)¥Ready to put in the ragin stroker forged piston aluminum intake 4 barrel greased lightning motor in my 66 chevy truck. I just realized the master cylinder is about the size of a apple and this baby has got drums all the way around!Whoa horsey!I have heard that certain year car spindels interchange with this truck .I would like to atleast put disks on the front. Any help would be appreciated. I dont wanna kill someone because i cant stop this big piece of steel . Its gunna go but will it stop ? Or am i silly to think theres anything wrong with the drums?I have been told disks stop 50 percent faster than drums ? Is this why everyone puts on disks?Also i will goto the junk yard to get these parts.
    Money is a issue or i would get the 500 dollar kit.besides i like the idea my truck came from all the unwanted trucks kinda like the island for unwanted toys in the chrismas movie! and ((I didnt put it in my lunch pail 1 piece at a time like the old song.i put it in the bed of my truck from 1 junk yard at a time.))¥(^_^)¥ ITS MY 64 , 65, 66 ,72 ,86 C10 MORE YEARS TO FOLLOW WHEN I GET SOME DISKS UP FRONT
