Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"

Thanks, I'm going to go ahead and order the kingpins to go along with freshening up everything else. Learning so much!!

So, i've been comparing the prices to redo the drums vs. a disc brake upgrade. Here is what I have so far:

Drums- 90
new lines- 25
new wheel cylinders-40
new master-100
shoes-35
roller bearing upgrade- 95
Total- $336

Vs. a disc conversion kit, which is ~$700 from my local shop and includes everything plus a booster.

OR

$400 without the booster/master cylinder locally, and I supply my own master cylinder.

Is the booster necessary/worth it?
