1970 K10 Driver

This is my first post.

I've owned a 1970 swb K10 with granny low 4 speed, 350, and all the accompanying road rash for almost 20 years now, and would like to rebuild it in a way that I could use it as a daily driver again.

The plan includes (eventually) an E-Rod in front of an NV4500.

The question is, how do I get the old beast to stop when I need it to?

It still has the original drum set-up front and rear, and that's not going to safely accomplish what I need it to do.

And, to at least somewhat complicate things, I'd like, if I could, to keep the original axles with the 308 gears under it.

I'd keep it stock height.

So, is there a VERY good, safe, reliable disc brake conversion already engineered for this, or will I have to resort to going to newer axles with discs already on them?

As is, the truck handles well, tracks straight and has been driven on the interstate highway system quite comfortably. It should be a fantastically fun vehicle to own and drive if I can get this done correctly.

Thanks!!
