Brake Upgrade - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Smitty** · 01-23-2021, 06:01 PM

wife was asking about brake upgrades for my '71 short bed. The daughters are used to driving their Honda's. What upgrade would be recommended for this truck. Including converting the rear to discs? Suggestions appreciated. This I would be the next money tossed into the bottomless pit after the new 350 HO goes in next week. After all you do have to stop after you go. I think the thought is about how treacherous freeway driving can be. Especially in the advanced age and slower reflexes. Building a nice truck for the next owner.

Thanks again for your inputs once again.
