1960 c-10 front disc brakes, my way!

[branch92]

So when I started into my project 60' I knew I would be converting to disc brakes and I wasn't ditching my torsion bars. So I started doing some research and figured out it was going to be rather expensive or I was going to need to get fancy with my skills. I thought to my self what would be better than disc brakes that have bearings that need to be repacked all the time and my answer was anything new....... So here I am with something I think will be pretty amazing, a good friend of mine just finished putting a straight axle in a 2000' Chevy 1500 2wd! I decided I would retain the inner part of the knuckle and just ditch the spindle, there was a lot of trial and error but it should work rather well, the first picture is a test plate made to adapt the unit bearing to my knuckle. I made a few revisions before I decided to have my final plate lasered out of 1" thick plate.
