Disc brake conversion???

[Bueno 68C-10]

I have a 68 c-10 and was wondering if it was a waste to only convert the front to disc and leave the back drum? Also is there a 6-lug front disc conversion kit that has a power brake booster included that won't break the bank? Thanks in advance guys!

Well all trucks after 71 (until recent when disc were used in rear) were front disc/rear drum. ..I guess im not understanding your question..and early classics sell 6 lug disc sets

Disc front and drum rear is the most common thing out there. Discs on the rear was originally a hi-end sports car thing. Heck, even Corvettes had drums in the early days.

Ok guys thanks and looked at early classics, but wasn't wanting to spend quite that much.

From another truck on Craigslist brother. Get everything but the rotors. That will be the part you have to buy online.
Read this link, it shows you what years to look for. Be sure to read it well.

Note if you use 73-87 spindles. You must have the heavy duty spindle that takes the 1-1/4 rotor. Because the aftermarket 6 lug rotor will not work with light duty spindle that has the 1" rotors.
