The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - 90% done with a disc conversion and ready to push my 69 into a lake.

As the title states, I purchased a disc brake kit from CPP. It included the usual: Spindles with 2.5 drop, lines with banjo bolts, calipers, rotors and hardware.

In addition to the kit, I did tie rods and sleeves, ball joints, purchased proportioning valve, and a master cylinder from a 72 disc/drum c10 to get the juice to flow correctly.

Ive done all the heavy lifting and am left with only the MC and prop valve. i bought some short lines from the MC to prop valve and had to rip out the front lines because they were all rusted and fragile.

My life is a nightmare now of adapters and leaky brake lines, does anyone have experience with this scenario? CPP's tech and manual section is about as helpful as a hammer to the face.
