I like "looking stock" if you can. I kept the 6-cylinder look, but swapped to a 235 on my '46 truck. I kept the torque tube driveline, but changed to 3:55 gears. I did stay with the drum brakes all around. I have to plan out my stopping distances and getting use to leaving space in front of me. I do worry a little approaching yellow lights or people pulling out in front of me. I don't know that there's a disc brake kit to fit my year that is just bolt-in. I mostly see them for '47 and newer. I have just over 500 miles on my truck now and it has done well.
