Thanks for the info.. is there any new chevy disk brakes that i could like retro fit on the instead of buying aftermarket brakes? Thanks!

WOW ..... what a score for a rustbelt truck. Having lived in NH I can appreciate the score.

Best of luck.

Great truck!

For the drop spindles you can get them for drums but you'll probably kick yourself down the road if you don't convert to disc. If you don't have power brakes you may want to take the opportunity to do that at the same time. In the meantime, enjoy the great truck!!

Will disc brakes from a newer chevy truck work?

Beautiful truck joe22883, nice buy!

As far as adding disc's to you truck, look at my build thread in my signature (Blank Slate) as I recently added 6-lug discs and lowered my truck as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

And, to the board from Mid-MO!!!
