New Guy from Wichita, KS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Busted Knuckles · 09-17-2007, 09:26 AM

My Dad bought a '67 SWB for me when I was a freshman in high school in 1994. It has been in the slooooooooooow process of being rebuilt ever since.

I went off to college and then took a job out of state. I'm just getting back home to start the project back up. So far it has been a restoration from the frame up.

Now that I can help foot the bill and assist with the work, I am really excited about getting back to work on it. I am sure that there is a lot of information and knowledge on this site to help us along the way!

First of all, I am looking at installing disc brakes. Either just on the front, but I'm thinking more about doing front and rear. Why not do it all, eh? Any ideas on the best place to buy disc brake conversion kits from?

Thanks in advance!!
