That was exactly my logic when I decided to go with disks on my '51 half-ton.

If you do find a "kit" do not expect it to "bolt on in a couple hours"... Expect to find vague instructions, defective parts and hours of modifying things to get them to work... or at least that's what I got from CPP.

Then there's the hidden cost of replacing all four wheels if they rub on the calipers, which almost all do. I guess you could get away with two new wheels if you don't mind carrying two spares.

Have fun.
