Never thought about the disc brake problem. I'll need to think about that one. My gut still tells me to keep it original and rebuild the drums, use original wheels, hubcaps and tires that give me the original height and ride. Would give in on radials though...don't really want the ride of belted tires. I think coker has radials that match ride hieight and look. Some argue that radials will not work on OEM wheels. Anyone have advice on that one?
