c Jason Barnett Wrench Fetcher C Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 40 Galena Park, TEXAS!	I have a 49 Chevrolet 3800 with the 17" 8 lug wheels. I want to convert the front brakes to disc, but I'm hoping one or more of you have already done this and know where to start. Does any one have any idea as to what to do? I'm keeping the stock suspension. I just want to add disc brakes. The aviation artist guy in Houston that loves old trucks even more than planes. www.jasonbarnettartist.com
