disc brake kits

I'm about ready to buy a disc brake kit for my 67 GMC. I'm looking at disc brakes with 6 lug, 2" drop spindle, master cyl, power booster, prop valve, the whole deal. I'm getting ready to paint my crossmember and suspension, then re assemble it with new parts and the disc brake kit.

I've read about ECE, Classic Heartbeat, Tomsclassics on Ebay, TNT Motorsports and a bunch of others. Tomsclassics on Ebay seems to have the best price at $699.00. I really like dealing with Wes at Classic Heartbeat, but his price comes in at over $1,000.00 when you add in the power booster, master cyl and prop valve.

For those of you who have done the swap, did you use the kits? If so, what did your kit have that was really good, and what did it have that just didn't work right, or that was missing?

I've decided against using used parts off a newer truck for a number of reasons.

Thanks in advance for the input.
