That's important because the brakes to fit your existing wheels are going to come off something your wheels would fit.
Or are you planning to change wheels also?
If so then the possibilities for brake swaps open up a bit. I've not seen a kit for a 4000 or 6000 series truck and I doubt you will find one. There are not enough people wanting to make this swap to justify engineering and tooling to market a kit.
If you can find disks that make sense you can then start solving the hub, bearing and caliper problems.
I've thought about putting disks on my '52 6400 but have decided the way I use this truck there is no good reason not to stay with the stock drum brakes.
If you come up with a solution please share it here. I'd sure like to know if there is an answer.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
