Ken Brown, who used to frequent the Stovebolt has made up some caliper brackets and if you can get him to stand still long enough might be able to offer a parts list also.
Others have made the conversion by figuring it out for themselves. Grigg's first link is the solution I like best, and he includes all the part numbers in his photos.
Another guy over on OldGMCTrucks.com did one a couple years ago that looked pretty good, using Dodge rotors and the original ball bearing hubs.
Some time I plan to do a similar conversion on a '54 GMC 1-ton dually. When I finally do it I'll post pictures and parts lists.
Given that only a few dozen people at most will even do this conversion I can't imagine anyone actually making and selling a kit. There just would not be enough money in it to justify the development costs.

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