I got the new garage built and I'm starting on getting my 52-3100 to a hot rod.

On the front brake from drum to disc conversion I found two units one is sold by SSBC #A148-15
secound one is sold by CCP #4759WBK5

what do you guys think is the better one?

Thanks,Pete

I can't compare the two, but I can say I installed the CPP without any issues.

I used Speedway motors, bets price and had not problems installing them. Make sure you get the ones for the truck and not the car, the spindles are different. 53 3100 root

Looks like you are pricing the 5 lug without booster. It seems like the Summit CPP price ($375) with free ship beats the SSBC. One has hoses other has the pads. Hoses are more expensive. Both have cast iron GM calipers and probably do not include the slotted rotors shown. Both seem to include the roller bearings which you need.
POL has more stuff included, cheaper price and free ship:

I have found many times that these "trusted" type vendors have good specials on EBAY.
I AM NOT SAYING THIS LINK IS TO A PRODUCT THAT FITS YOUR TRUCK. That's up to you.

Some people have trouble with wheels fitting these kits. I have not have any trouble. You can easily and safely grind off the caliper sometimes. If you have a 16" or larger wheel you will probably be OK. Many 15" will work. But they do warn you in the literature/ads.

It's Performance OnLine. I have purchased from them as well as the others you mention. You can find good and bad experiences about all of them. Summit and Jeggs and others just drop ship from the same supplier. Most of those kits have the same parts.

The CPP and the POL kits are different. I have used one of each. I had to do some custom fitting on them both.
