Hi there,
I have a C30 that was ordered from the factory with a 1.5 ton ten bolt "P30" style front end. Only thing is that it has drum brakes and a single circuit system. I want to convert the front end to disc brakes and upgrade to modern "non-split rim" type wheels.

I have heard that modern C30 or "3500" spindles and disc brake equipment are almost a direct bolt-in affair. I am just not very familiar with what parts would interchange.

I want to swap to a dual circuit master cylinder with a vacuum assist booster, swap to disc brakes up front and modern dually wheels all around.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for another post on perhaps someone has done this conversion already?

Thanks
Kevin
