Upgrade Front Brakes
The brakes on this rig are "Huck" (rhymes with 'suck' for good reason) and were used from 1937 through 1950 on passenger cars and 1/2 ton trucks so go find how they converted those and have at it .
IIRC you'll need to drill out and re tap one hole per spindle, back in the day we'd up grade to 1951 ~ 1967 Bendix drum brakes using stock 1/2 ton parts, it's pretty simple and you don't even need to change the master cylinder . I have the entire front axle drum to drum from a 1959 3100 in my back yard ~ saved for just such a project that never occurred, it's for sale dirt cheap to anyone who needs it . The axle & tie rods are bent, it's from an old farm truck that was Hot Rodded .
