Hi All; I own a 1936 chevy 1/2 tn pickup w/ drum brakes and I want to convert it to 6 lug disc brakes on the front. I can find 5 lug setups but I'm having difficulty finding 6 lug.I want to use my original spoke wheels. I also have a 1948 front axel assembly but it is 1 inch wider than the 36. Can anyone suggest the best way to proceed w/ this conversion, All help is greatly appreciated....Thanks....Richard

Your original wheels are not likely to clear the calipers on any disk conversion. That is one of the challenges common to these swaps.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
