What brakes should I buy?

[66fleetsidewarrior]

I have a '66 c10 with drum brakes all the way around. I have had some "not so fun" experiences with drum brakes and hate them with a firery passion. I have been looking at some conversion kits every now and again but don't know what is the best bang for the buck. I absolutely want to keep the six lug spindles if at all possible and I'm not set on having power brakes but I know if I convert it I will at least need a new master cylinder. Any input is appreciated. Thanks guys.

I haven't been able to drive the truck yet but,we installed a mcgaughys spindle disc set up. still has the 6 lugs. you will need to find a set of wheels to clear calipers.looks like a pretty good set up to me. I believe a few guys have had good luck with their stuff.

I used the CPP Grand Slam kit with 13" rotors and kept the 6 lugs. This comes with springs and shocks, etc and went in with not too much trouble. I also bought the front brake line kit to complete the swap. Finding wheels was not easy, so consider that.

Pretty well all the big aftermarket companies offer similar stuff. Just consider customer support and price before you jump in.

Good luck!
