Disc Brakes
 

I'm looking to upgrade my drum brakes to disc brakes and looking at purchasing a conversion kit. The kits I have stumbled upon are the brothers, ece, and cpp. Since brothers is having a sale, the kit is alot cheaper than the others. I remember reading the kit does not include the master cylinder and another part needed. So what I'm asking what is this kit missing and is it a quality kit? Anybody have experience with the kit?

Re: Disc Brakes
 

Have you been through the disc brake conversion thread? It has all the info on doing the conversion for a lot less money. What other plans or upgrades do you want or plan like power brakes and power steering? Knowing that will help get you a complete list.

I plan to have no power steering or braking. I would like to keep my 6-lug to and I have a 68 crossmember installed on my truck. The reason I'm looking at getting disc brakes is so I can use drop spindles.

Bumping this old thread. Will this kit come with everything I need to upgrade to disc brakes? It doesn't mention anything about a proportioning valve, so would I also have to order that to have power disc brakes? Also will I be able to clear 15's with this kit? I know most people will say order from ECE but living in Alaska makes that kit cost $480 to ship.

You need a dis/drum prop valve or an aftermarket adjustable prop valve with disc brakes.
Does matter if they are power brakes or manual.

That kit is a 6-lug kit.
It will clear oem 71-87 15" steel wheels made for disc brakes.
It will not clear pre-1971 6-lug 15" steel wheels.

Have you contacted any of the board Vendors?

Re: Disc Brakes
 

I've contacted a few and shipping is always over $300 atleast to alaska. If I also added this to the kit would that be all I need?

Re: Disc Brakes
 

Which of these would be best? The non adjustable says it comes with the brake lines and the hardware, the adjustable one doesn't say if it does.
