I will be installing front disks. Currently I am rebuilding front axle and want to assemble my own kit from parts I purchase for the front brake conversion. The roller bearing conversion has caused me some confusion. If I understand things correctly, a custom roller bearing (read expensive) can be purchased specifically developed for the Chevy truck spindle (talking advance design here). But, others make a bearing adapter that allows the use of standard and inexpensive, readily available bearings like the A2 and A13 bearings. I went ahead a purchase a caliper bracket kit that includes the bearing adapter. The bearing adapter increase front track by a total of 7/8" which I am hoping increases wheel to caliper clearance so I can still use my original steel wheels. We shall see. Is my thinking correct?
