Reply to "Conversion of drum brakes to disk brakes"

I like the front disc conversion kits that include new spindles - vs the bolt on caliper mounting adapters.  Ones that have an available dust/water shield/back plate may be desirable too.  You might also want to consider kits with a lowered spindle (actual implemented by raising the spindle).  These drop the front 2-2 1/2" so you might have to use your beam adjuster to get height where you actually want it.  They do widen the front track but there is generally enough room in the front for 6' and down rims.  Some kits take different wheel bearings and tie rod ends depending on your year chassis.  Believe they all take longer rubber brake lines.
