Looking for a source for a good disc brake conversion kit for a 54 1/2 ton. Only need the fronts. Want to stay with 6 lug and would like to use the original rims. Who has had good luck with the kit they bought?

I bought mine from Classic Performance Products. I don't have the truck running yet so I can't say how well they work. But I thought you might be interested in the minor problems I ran into installing them. Click the link to my website, then "54GMC", then "Front suspension".

I have made several successful conversions using kits obtained from ABS in Orange, CA. www.abspowerbrake.com / 714-771-7329

For the 6 lug conversion, an upgrade to the wheel bearings is recommended.

Their kits include every part and they fit.
