Hey all, good to meet everyone. I'm the new guy and looking for some tech tips.

Anywho, I'm a paint and bodyman by trade and will spend plenty of time answering questions and giving advice when I can but now I need a little of my own.

I have a 51 3100 and am curious as to what might be compatible to do a disc brake swap. Thanks for the help in advance

I have a 51 that i am street rooding and changed to a mustang II .But if you want to keep it stock their are brake kits that will work with the stock spindles.I don't know if i can use brand names here or not? but you can find them in hot rod or street rod magazines. cost about 300.00
