POL disk brake converion kit for my 66 questions

I'm going to be doing a front disk brake conversion on my 66 C10. I'm looking at this deluxe kit (see link) from POL and I was wondering if anybody has used this kit and what you thought of it? I like that it comes with the drop spindles and 1973-87 ball joints and tie rod ends. Is there a better option/kit?

POL sells the exact same kit on ebay for 660.00 and 65.00 flat rate shipping. saves you over a hundred bucks in all usually .

Have you checked to see what the cost would be to buy your dropped spindles from whatever vendor, and then buy the remainder of the parts at your local auto parts supplier?

Thanks for your reply's guys and the link 63longfleet!

Captainfab I haven't checked local parts stores but will certainly look into that. Maybe less expensive to go that route.
