I went with a CCP 5 lug kit on the front end of my 51. For the rear I used a 9" Ford diffy out of a 78 Lincoln Mark VI. This diffy already had discs so I have discs all the way around. I used the stock master cylinder from the Lincoln and made a bracket to mount the master cylinder in the stock location under the floorboard. I am not using any power assist the the brakes work GREAT--power assist is not needed. The pedal ratio on a stock Chevy pedal is around 10:1.
My only problem is that my front lugs are 5 X 4.75 and the rear pattern is 5 X 5. Drilling the front rotors to 5 X 5 did not appear practical so I will redrill the rear axles for 5 X 4.75. I may also pick up some mag wheels that have a universal bolt pattern. After the shop is done I will get started on this project.
