1/2 ton (lots of kits) or larger (not so many)?
Power brakes or not? I was happy with the non-power assisted front disk/rear drum brakes I put on my '57. My '52 came to me with front disks and a power booster. Works good but takes up a lot of space between the left side of the transmission (where the shift linkage is if you have a 3 on the tree) and the frame. In either case you'll need a dual chamber master cylinder and assorted plumbing parts.
You'll most likely not be able to check the fluid level through the stock hole in the cab floor.
Thanks for the info Bill. She is a 1/2 Ton and I will be going the non-powered brake route. Did you have to bend your own lines for the additional plumbing or did they come in a kit? And I am curious as to what do you do when it comes time to replace your disc brakes? Do you have to go back to the vendor to get new pads or do they give you a part number that you can cross reference at your local parts store?
