Re: 59 Disc brake conversion using Toyota parts

I don't see a reason not to go to studs that match the rears. That follows the keep it simple theory. That also keeps the lug nuts front and rear the same. One less headache to deal with.
You may need a spacer ring machined to keep the rotor hub centric That isn't a big deal except the money to pay to have it done. When you have everything apart and the calipers out that will all get figured out real quick.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
