Thanks for the reply-

Yes, I agree with you that drums work nicely when everything is replaced. Especially since it’s not ABS I can see how ( I assume ) they work just the same. I’ve done the wiring in my previous build and it was fairly easy and I will likely do the wiring on this truck too.

Part of the reason I was going to do the disc conversion was because I need to replace the wheel cylinders up front and potentially more once I crack the drums open so I figured while I’m in there why not just do the disc conversion. If I love the MC to the firewall I know I’ll have to redo all the brake lines which I’m ok with, the part that I’m unsure of is the brake pedal/ MC connection. Before I make a decision, I want to find out more about this pedal/MC connection change.
