Re: disc brakes for chevy 56 1/2 ton

Pretty much any one of the old truck vendors offers at least one kit to do this on the front. You can choose either 6-lug or 5-lug. The kit is basically the same for '41 through '59.

You need to also convert to dual master at the same time and generally you'll need to replumb at least part of your brake system to make it work.
