Hmmm ....

Power steering title , disc brake question.

Well the disc brake conversion depends on the axle.

If your talking about the stock I beam axle check out the kits from http://www.fillingstation.com or other parts suppliers.

Also add a tapered wheel bearing conversion kit.

Now for the master cylinder , you can go manual or power , under floor or firewall mount, vacuum or Hydra-boost.

You will also need a proportioning valve, a combo or adjustable for the rear brakes along with 2 p.s.i. residual valve for front and/or rear disc brakes . A 10 p.s.i. residual valve for rear drum brakes.

Of course all new plumbing.

I think the CPP 400 power steering box is hard to beat.

So far I've only driven with it a couple of hundred miles but I'm 100% happy.

I also have the CPP 6-lug front disc brake kit with their firewall-mounted power booster setup. There were a few installation quirks but I'm very happy with the way they operate.

All I can say is I used Performance Online's kit and had fitment issues + piss poor customer service. It does, however, stop very well (after I modified things to work & dealt with the squeeling the piss-poor pads made)
Which bolt pattern are you looking for? 6 lug? 5?
