Drum brakes on a 1947-1959 Chevrolet/GMC Truck fade on long stops and need constant adjustment. This Right Stuff kit converts the Chevrolet/GMC Truck to manual front disc brakes.
Why It's Worth It
- Includes Flex Hoses
- Timken Bearings
- Application-specific for the 1947-1959 Chevrolet/GMC Truck
- Application-specific kit rather than a universal setup
Before You Order
- Built for a 5x4.75 bolt pattern; confirm yours before ordering
- Manual brakes rely on the correct master cylinder bore; confirm what's supplied versus reused
- The new spindles included in this kit will push the wheels outwards by 3/8 inch more than stock
- Pre-bent TRS brake line kits are available separately to finish the conversion
- Bleed the system and bed in the pads after installation
