Looking for complete front & Rear Disk brake kit.

I have a '79 I'm looking to convert to disk rear & front.
Does anybody have a great source for finding complete packages?
I would like something nice because you can really see the Rotors & calipers through the 20" rims I'm going with.

Thanks!

Re: Looking for complete front & Rear Disk brake kit.

Vertical Smile your truck should have front disc brakes so I assume you are looking for something larger. I suggest you look at Classic Performance Parts (CPP) or McGaughys. CPP is a forum Vendor, and we have a few McGaughys distributors here too. Take a look in our Vendor Marketplace or Suspension Marketplace for the best deals available.

Re: Looking for complete front & Rear Disk brake kit.

Do you want to stick with 12" rotors, and do you need a parking brake?

Here's a link to the 4-wheel disc install we did on my '79.

If you really want to go ape****, there's the 16-inch Alston-Wilwood setup like on my '73, that's archived on CCT's tech.

Those brakes are insane. I cant imagine how crazy they are to use.
