There is a Classic Performance Products web site that shows what appears to be a very simple, bolt on disk brake conversion for AD trucks. Anyone tried it and any comments or suggestions? Thanks.

I know Ken and I bought the kits. I have yet to put mine on and I doubt Ken has had the time either. He has been too busy breaking his kubota!

I put on a set from Master Power Brake on my '37. It was a very easy bolt on. Just get a master cylinder that they recommend. I tried three different ones before I picked the right one. Joe

Have done put one from classic on my 54, was super simple, just needed to shave a little off the bracket to keep it from hitting when turning the wheels from stop to stop, just make sure you do this or you will have to start over, you can't get a grinder to the bracket with it installed.

Here is a picture of mine as a rolling chassis, then completed.

good luck

Oh crap, I just read my last post and noted the grammer, please forgive, I was multi-tasking at the time.
