Disc Brake just wondering?

Hi all
I know a lot of guys have converted to Disc brakes either by doing the full crossmember swap or by just the control arm and spindals, I am wondering if anyone has ever been able to change over by finding some disc caliper brackets that would work on the original spindals? I have a 64 GMC the front end is tight and in good condition. Does anyone make brackets so you can use your original spindals and just buy rotors and calipers? Thanks

Re: Disc Brake just wondering?

hey thanks for the link restorick, i checked it out they also sell the the caliper mounting brackets with bearings,seals and bolts seprate for $149 they mount 79-86 malibu calipers and 69-72 11 inch chevelle rotors. Its definatley another cool cheap way to go. But what if you wanted to keep the 6 stud wheels, these brackets probably wouldn't work right?

I beleive that they offer a six lug rotor. I'm not sure, I decided to just buy the kit from ECE. I was very pleased with the results.
