    Just recently picked up 32 Ford frontend for my 26 Tudor and I want to run with the wheels that came with it, which where 32 spoked wheels. I also want to convert it to a GM disc brake setup is this all possible to do? appreciate any info that will help me do this. thanks

    The Ford wire wheels kind of fold around the brake drums. This will cause interference with the caliper. You will need wheel adapters to get to the old Ford pattern anyway. They will have to be pretty thick to get the wheel to clear the calipers. I don't think it will look to great but that's just me. I would prefer the 40-48 drums with Wilson backers .
