1957 Chevy Grumman Front Disk Brake Conversion

I usually stay on the 60-66 side but recently picked up a 57 Chevy Grumman van and was wondering what is the best way to convert the front to disk brakes.
Is the van front axle the same as a 3/4-1 ton truck axle?
Any good disk brake kits?
I want to keep the stock 19.5" Wheels.

I found this bracket kit. Any opinions on it? Will it push the wheels out to far?

I have a 2003 Chevy 2500 van rear axle with disk brakes and 3.73 gears so just need to figure out the front.
Thanks
