I beam Brake/Bearing Combo Options

[73kay]

hey guys,

I have noticed that there is a bit of play in my front wheels which I believe to be the ball bearings. I'm at a crossroads and I would like opinions and how to proceed.

I have 6x5.5 lug front and 5x5.5 lug ford rear, all standard smooth steel with chrome smoothie hubcabs in the works. I have a custom bracket made for a drum drum master cylinder, not sure the year. I want to put in all new brake lines too eventually.

Ideally, I would like to upgrade to roller bearings, upgrade to disc and maintain 6 lug. From my research, these are the top three choices.

1. "Quick and Stay Drum" Roller Bearing Conversion Kit: $100

2. "Just Knock It Out" Disc Brake Conversion Kit: $250, but need to find 5x4.75 wheels or use wheel adapters

3. "Just Pay for it and be Done" 6 Lug Disc Brake Kit - $375, but still need to get bearings
