New here. Been looking around for a while. Lot of great info here. Just got my hands on a 66 C20 with 327. It runs but of course needs some TLC. I took a couple of years of auto mechanics in high school and have always worked on my own stuff. I remember to shop teacher always said that a vehicle that wouldn't go was not a problem, just one that wouldn't stop! I am planning on converting to front disc brakes. Any suggestions on the best place to get a kit?

Welcome coker91.

You have found the best Chevy truck forum on the internet.

There are lots of mid '60's trucks here. Almost all the truck vendors sell disc kits. It isn't hard to put one together yourself. CPP has a good selection of kits.

What part of Florida?

coker91, welcome to the Stovebolt. You will find what you need right here. Spend a little time looking around and learning the sight. The tech tips and the links section provide a lot. A search for disc brakes will probably give you hours and hours of reading. LOTS for folks here have and are doing it.
I might add that to get the best results and most replies try to post your questions in the best forum.....brakes in Driveline, engine questions in Engine Forum. I'm sure you see the logic. heck, with a C20 you may even have some questions for the Big Bolt Forum.
Hey, theres even a forum just for you 60's guys. Check it out!

..and before someone else says it, post a pic when you can!!
Good luck.

Welcome! Greetings from Miami. You've come to the right place. So much info and help available. I went with POL for discs on my 54. Kit looks good but I've not started on the install yet. Hope to be to that point in a month or so. Best of luck with your project. Would like to see some pics.

Lake City (North Florida). This will be my first project. I've been wanting a 60-66 for a while now to work on. My dad had a 64 when I was a kid. Lot of memories.

Welcome coker, those 66s are worth waiting for. Nothing wrong with 327s either. You have some good advice already, good luck finding what you need.

Well, that's a nice compliment to you John Smith and the work you put into doing that Tech Tip!

We have quite a few TTs pending and as the weather is getting colder, we ought to start getting some of them drafted and up on the site.
