Disc Brake Kits
 

Does anyone know a good disk brake conversion kit for my truck? Its a '69 I/2 ton im looking for a 5 lug conversion with 6 piston calipers and drilled slotted and vented rotors with everything in the kit like dust sheilds drop spindles and master cylinder and booster etc. Thanks For any help!!

Most vendors on this site have a conversion kit for your truck but not with 6 piston calipers. I'm sure you'll have to upgrade to Baer brakes or Wilwood for those kind of calipers. Do you really need 6 pistons calipers? I know Baer has the 6 piston monoblock calipers but I don't know if it is applicable to our trucks (pretty sure they're not). Then you've got to have a bigger disc and bigger wheels too.
Baer does have a 5 lug drop spindle conversion kit but I'm sure it's not cheap. My biggest advice is to buy what you need. I plan on converting mine within the year but I'm only gonna use 2 piston calipers because that is all I need. I've got a 1969 1/2 ton 2wd and I'm just gonna buy a common conversion kit, probably not even power. Most of those kits run around $700-800. So if your looking for hipo parts like Baer and stuff you better have the $$$ to buy it and then maintain it to. Good luck with the hunt!
