Re: CPP Disc Conversion - Good and Bad

If you blow a rear wheel cylinder, you will have nonfront brakes at all. And the wheel with the blown cylinder will be slick with Dot 3, and will not grab at all... so when you pull back on the emergency brake handle, you'll be trying to stop your truck with one drum.
I know from experience with a '54 Buick that can't be done.
