Re: 56 straight axle squarebody hubs
That speedway rotor is intended for dirt track use so there may be legal issues if you use it on the street and it fails. That would be up to you
There is a kit for 180 that has the brackets and bearing adapter but you still need the rotors and calipers Scroll down the page. http://ecihotrodbrakes.com/early_che...nversions.html
Personally if I had to have disk on the I beam I'd just go with that speedway kit or a similar one and run the 5 on 4-3/4 wheels on the front and carry a dual pattern spare.
You can swap 50/54 Pontiac drums and backing plates onto 47/59 Chevy 3100 spindles reasonably simply as they use the same wheel bearings. That is if you aren't bent on having disk brakes on the I beam.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
