I am fixing up a 1955 chevy 3/4 truck with 8 lug bolt pattern.
I want to do a brake upgrade of some sort but I don't have enough money to do a frame or a independent suspension swap on the truck. It seems like there aren't too many options for disk brakes for the 3/4 ton but lots for 1/2 ton truck
Maybe the easiest is buy a new master brake cylinder and freshen up the brake shoes with new hardware and brake cylinders?
My concerns are how well did the stock brake system work, where do I find parts for the stock brakes (remember 3/4 ton)
Do I have any other options?
Also what do people think of the split rims and is there are tire options or another rim options that still keeps the 8 lug
thanks!
