Hey guys, I'm the proud new owner of a '54 3800 and am looking to tackle the disc brake conversion problem as well. I've been looking online and over in the 67-72chevytrucks.com forum and found a guy who converted to disc on his 1951 3800 in basically a bolt on fashion. He descibes his final approach at post #22. I'm trying to figure out his front bracket right now and see if I can get one made as a one piece steel water jetted instead of welding two plates together. Below is the link to the post.

And for pictures:
He gave me the link, and just got his permission to share. I'm not sure what bearing he used, but I am assuming that they are ball bearings.

I'm just getting into this project myself, and am looking for guidance as well. Thanks all!
