Anyone installed SSBC front disc brake upgrade?

Looking for anyone that has installed the SSBC front disc brake conversion kit?

https://ssbc-usa.com/products/a126-8

What I like about it is that is uses the current drum brake spindle and hub.

Any feedback, good or bad would be appreciated.

I installed that kit. I have not driven the truck yet but here's some pictures on my build thread. I am using my factorybrake booster. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...530401&page=21

Thanks for the reply.

I was wondering about the dust shields since the fit doesn't come with them. I'll have to get me a set of the Chevelle shields. Was the only modification to them was to drill the extra mounting holes and clearance for the lower control arm?

This is what I did to make it work . It turned out looking original. Yes I did a small amount of clearance for the control arm as well.
