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?

Make sure you get the ones for the truck and not the car, the spindles are different. 53 3100 root | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | 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: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-55-54-...22380736?hash=item257dae8ac0&vxp=mtrI 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.

Thanks again,Pete | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | 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.

I had to do some custom fitting on them both. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | Looks like Speedway is the one at 250 they have the best price and they include hoses and pads.
