Any number of guys over on the HAMB told me a manual disc brake system will work just fine and since I already own a CPP disc brake kit, I went looking and bought the frame mount dual master cylinder and bracket. Haven't installed any of it yet because I'll need to run new brakes lines and I don't have the tools to bend it myself....yet!

I have the tubing bender if you need to use it Dan. It isn't really expensive model but it gets the job done. As for the flare tool, The lengths I bought at Oreally? seemed to work great. You outta stop by the shop one day and see what I did with mine and pick up the tools to do yours.
LMAO, And YES, it was an @$$ puckering ride. that was when I decided I needed to go through the truck. I was shaking for about 1 hrs if I remember right. That was about 16 yrs ago. I drove the truck for a couple years and had never pounded on the brakes that hard.
