Hey, guys, I want to redo the brakes on my '63 pickup but I'm not certain the best way to do this. The original truck has those half-cylinder front brakes (what was Ford thinking?) and I'd like to maybe upgrade to a better brake. Not sure about a disc brake conversion either. Has anybody out there ever tackled this job? Any advice? Thanks!
