Disc Brake Conversion With Stock Wheels?
 
I recently bought a 69 K-10 Chevy, and I spent a few bucks getting the original 15” rally wheels powder-coated and had a new set of 31 x 10.5 tires mounted on them. I’m to the point where I need to get it a shop to get the brakes addressed. I’m fairly positive the drum brakes are shot, and I’d like to convert at least the fronts to discs.
I have done a bit of searching for kits online so that I can supply the parts, but I can only seem to find kits that state they don’t work with stock wheels.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on what I should be looking for?

What does the barrel look like that goes over the brakes? Got a picture of the back side of your current wheels?

I believe the "Rallye" wheels started in 1973 so that would have been disc brakes.

It’s only the pre 71 drum brake steelies that cause issues.
Rally wheels are fine for disc brakes.
