Just starting a restore / rebuild of a 50 Chev 3100. I plan to start with the brakes. Any leads on complete brake kits ? Surfin' the web is getting frustrating.

Also, can I buy POR15 in a retail store or is it by mail only ?

Now would be a good time to upgrade the brakes to the 51 up Bendix unless you want to keep it bone original. They perform better, are easier to get parts for & are easier to work on.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I bought complete brake kits twice from Kanter Auto Parts and I was really satisfied with price and quality.
