Jerry,
Thanks for the reply and the warnings.

Enlarging the holes isn't a challenge. I believe I have the skill and experience and I'm sure I have the equipment to handle that rudimentary task. I'm am aware of the hydraulic system upgrades that are associated with a disc brake conversion on one of these trucks. The calculations for the hydraulics are not a problem and neither is bending tubing. I have a shop full of equipment and have been wrenching and fabricating on cars, trucks, jeeps, etc. for over 40 years including braking and steering systems.

I have posted this query because I'm trying to understand the options that are available. I'm considering building my own system. I was working down that path before I discovered the "kit" I linked in my first post.

My last question to this forum about a power steering conversion using a Toyota box for my 3600 morphed into a dissertation about insurance. I'm hoping this thread won't be similar. Fortunately for me, rfs56trk provided the information I needed about the power steering conversion via instant messaging and email.
