Hot Rods 1949 Styleline Huck Brakes

Let me just start off by saying.... I know I need to Upgrade to Bendix style.
As I know most of you are very familiar with these brakes and let me say...A Royal pain in the A$$ they are. Parts are crazy expensive. I am on the verge of just upgrading to disc but, I hate to spend the money. My wife can't drive a stick, so I do not have to worry about her driving the car. I would on the other hand like for it to be driver friendly. Maybe mey my nephews drive it from time to time (me with them, of co****)! Just wanted to vent!
Pi$$ed off at Huck Brakes In Portland, TN

 

uhhhh just buy some 50-54 chevy brakes..... you can get the backing plates for next to nothing because all the sissys out there put discs on.

 

x2 cheap upgrade and makes a huge difference!

 

I sold mine pretty cheap after I put disc brakes on. So there.

 

Chev Bendix brakes 51-54 will bolt to your spindles.

 

I found a brake set up for my 49.....They are on a 54 and the guy is gonna put disc on it and I could just have the set up on it for free!.!.
My 49 is a Chevy Styleline Deluxe. Original drive train still in the car. Rides and drives great. Just those damn Huck brakes...LOL Now I can get those off and the car will be driver friendly.
Thanks for all the input.

 

the 54 spindals will drop your car another 2 inches free

 

will they really????

 

Picked up an entire front suspension off a '51 Chevy this past weekend for $50. It's all been rebuilt! The deals are out there. Don't have to go disc route.. these work just fine!

 

Ive done that..it only gets you 1-1.25 inch
