Starting to regret disc brake conversion

I purchased a conversion kit from POL for my 70 C20. Getting ready to install and preinstall research is making me question my decision.

1. Some say the brake line position at the back of the a-arm is a problem
2. Had to get a new M/C (bore is 1 1/4) and new booster (11" dual)
3. New proportioning valve and will have to make hard lines between M/C and P/V (no one makes a set that works.
4. Figure out brake line from P/V to existing lines as they won't line up
5. Now I find out I'll need new lug nuts for the front and they will be different than the rear.
6. I'll basically be rebuilding the front suspension.

Most of all, everyone sells everything you need for C10, but not C20 and apparently there is some differences.

Hopefully is stops on a dime
