    drum to disc conversion pending

     



    I just pulled the trigger on a power disc brake conversion kit from ABSPOWERBRAKES.com ( 64 C 10 )

    I'm keeping the six-bolt wheel pattern, and stock height spindles. Would have done four-wheel disc, but thier kit does not have an emergency brake.

    Ordered some stainless 3/16" hard line, and stainless nuts. going to change out all hardlines while I am at it. Recently the rear brakes locked up, and I think it was a piece of trash in the lines acting as a one-way valve. After 44 years, it should probably be mandatory for any car's brake lines to be replaced, eh?

    Also got new shocks on order, and will put on some new shoes in the rear.

    Already have the old parts sitting in a pile, and posted on ebay.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
