Re: 59 Disc brake conversion using Toyota parts

I did think of replacing the Chev studs with metric (to match the rears), but I want things to be easily reversible (a bit silly I know but there it is).
My advice as someone who has put more than enough work into making changes that can be easily reversed is... don't bother. It never happens. Once you modify the truck it never goes back. Either you or the next owner will drive it as-is for a number of years then decide to make more improvements further reducing the chance the vehicle will be returned to stock. A more realistic option for the brake swap is to secure replacement hubs and drums, crate those together with the brakes and backing plates, and clearly identify the parts inside in case someone truly wants to return the vehicle to original condition.
