I found a company that sells a '65 - '70 conversion kit that includes the calipers, rotors, brackets, hoses seals, power brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, and all the misc. stuff. I called them and they quoted $790 for the kit. Take a look and see what you think:

Well I just emailed them to get the details. Man from the way it sounds that is the way to go without having to change your spindles. That takes a ton of work out of it. Thanks for the info.

I've often wondered why there weren't disk brake conversion kits that use the stock drum brake spindles for the twin I-beam trucks. That's no different than what has been offered for the older single I-beam axle trucks for quite some time......

Maybe they have been available for awhile but I just didn't know where???

I wouldn't be suprised if there is a car or truck that has disc brakes that would fit on our spindles. But no one has ever mentioned it so maybe not.
