After reading this & other disc brake conversions my brain hurts & am now more confused then ever how to do a front axle 1 ton conversion for a 1 ton panel. Unless someone has a condensed version of how to do it??? Or is there a way to change it over to a 6 bolt disc brake set up??? Mean while I figured I'd google it & see what popped up. Anybody heard of these folks or have used their kits???? https://www.tsmmfg.net/chevy-gmc-8-lug-truck-complete-front-disc-brake-kit-1847.html Thanks......joe

I also am interested to know if anyone has any experience with the website Joe refers to. I looked at the website and it appears that they are using 78-85 Monte Carlo calipers rather than pickup calipers. I wonder it those could handle the heat dissapation required of a bigger vehicle like my nearly always loaded 8800lb 1-ton,
