brake question: 53 ford car

i have a friend looking to convert his 53 ford customline to disc brakes in the front. i have looked in the usual catalogs for conversion kits but have found nothing. has anyone done one? are they the same as a truck?
thanks for any help

 

Try ECI (Engineered Components INc.) in Connecticut. It seems to me I saw a kit in their ad.
