Opinions on disk brakes

Hello All.

This is my first posting on this site.

I bought a 1955 3100 that had been sitting for 20 years. It has a 350 V8 in it with a Power glide. Otherwise completely stock. Oh, I did get it running and was able to get it home.

Question: I'm starting to get this truck road worthy and am looking for opinions on front disk brakes. Will be changing the master cylinder and all rear brake components. Thinking now is a good time to alter the front brakes, but need advice on which kits work best.

The truck will be used for driving around town and occasional tows to our local race track in Medford. My D Sport doesn't weigh much, with the trailer and D Sport on it only about 2000 lbs so good brakes, good shocks, and such will be needed.

Not building a hot rod, although it does have a V8.

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Oh, scored on a perfect set of 55 front fenders painted Bombay Ivory.

Thanks.

Would post pictures but need to figure out how.
