Another drum to disc question... sorry!

[HugoV]

Hi guys and gals!

I did some research but could not find the exact answer I was looking for, so help!

My 64 c10 frame is done being media blasted and painted, so here comes the fun part, reassembly!

I am going with a drum to disc conversion.

My question is which supplier should I go with for the complete kit?


bowtiebits.com - $599.00

CPP - $799.00

http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...6062SWBK-5.htm



earlyclassic.com - $759.00

http://www.earlyclassic.com/catalog....version%20Kits




Or what kit have you guys used?? I am also planning on doing new ball joints etc, so if there is a kit that comes with all of that it would be great!

Thanks for the advice!

fyi - I rather pay for the convenience of buying a kit, VS buying each part individually. (unless it's going to save me money!!)


If i go with 5 lug disc up front, where should I get the rear end from? keeping in mind that I want a cruiser so gas mileage is also key for gear ratio...

I cannot answer, as I always got parts from donor vehicles--cheaper for me around here.

Also, CAUTION: It'd be a good idea if you checked vendors' reputations and caveats (?some where?) in this forum. Some members have had bad experiences....what a shame, really. Would be nice to not have to do that!!!

If your present diff'l & ratio are ok, either order replacement 5-lug axles OR, second best, pull your axles and have them re-drilled for the 5-on-5 inch bolt pattern. Depending on local machinists, re-drilling might save a few $$$.
