59 fleetside longbed build

[daveccpa]

Hey guys. I just picked up a 59 GMC longbed fleet for my son for him to work on. We've had it a week and he's gotten it all sanded and ready to prime for the 1st time. Anyways my question is the most cost effective way to get disk brakes up front and to lower the stance a little, not a lot.

The truck has a SB 350 in it so I need it to stop well and ride decent. Since he's doing this with his money we need to be effecient. Looking for ideas as I have really no clue what the best route is to go. Also he has little to no experience but I want him to learn so easier is better as well.

Just looking for the right combo. Thanks.
