Re: 63 GMC front disc conversion questions
What tires will you be running? It doesn't do any good to have really good brakes unless you have tires that grip enough to use them. I see aircooled VW guys do this all the time; they do all they can to upgrade the brakes but limit their ability to stop by running hard compound 145/80-15 front tires that have been on the market with no updates for decades. Meanwhile mine has 100% stock manual drums with modern tires and it will brake harder than some modern cars with four wheel discs and abs.
