I own a 1967 Chevy C10 short wheelbase pickup. I want to swap the current factory drum brakes for a Chevy factory disc brake setup. I have read that this is possible with certain year Chevy pickups. Can't help but think it would be much cheaper than an aftermarket swap. The truck is a 1/2 ton, V8, short wheelbase with 6 lug hubs with power steering. It has a 12 bolt rear end which I would like to swap drums for disc also. Is what I want to do possible or am I whistling in the wind. My hope is to have a safe stopping pickup that I intend to hand down to my grandson someday. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
