disc brake conversion

[candiceh]

I have a 1956 Chevy 3100,a custom with drum brake brakes all around.Does not stop very well sometimes since it has a GM Performance Parts ZZ4 350 crate engine under the hood.Bought the truck a couple weeks ago already done and I like the truck.Luckily a good friend of mine has a front disc conversion kit for it brand new in the box and is going to be done this weekend at his place.I have been told I am better off having the the conversion than fixing the problem since it has a V8 now.I am thinking of having the rear converted to disc too,the rear end is a 12 bolt.Should I have the rear done too?I am about to order a rear disc brake set up for it.I did check the vin on it,had the straight 6 from the factory at one time.Drove it to work,I had to push on the brakes and would work sometimes.
