    Hey everyone, yes I searched, and maybe I did it wrong but screw it. Im looking to make my newly acquired 54 chevy a decent car to drive and stop. It has a 57 chev truck axle up from and I am having trouble finding a disc setup for it. Also, what brake master cylinder are some of y'all running?

    Thanks for the help

    I bought and installed a full disc brake conversion from Speeway Motors ( speedway motors.com ) on my '57 axle going into a g***er. Uses mid 70's (1973??) chevelle/lemans etc front rotors and includes spindle adapters, caliper brackets, calipers, etc to do the complete conversion. Just follow the instructions closely. This is a pic of it installed.

    Most of the aftermarket places like LMC...etc, also carry disc conversions.

    thanks for the heads up guys. I will most likely go with the speedway kit, looks pretty legit and has an easy install
