Ok so I learned the hard way that the right side is righty tighty and the left is righty loosey but got lucky and broke nothing as I finally noticed the L.

Got the wheels off and putting some Power King Premiums on right now. One bad split ring so getting new one. Wheels are really perfect ...no rust or pits.

Now to the question. I will redo master, lines, wheel cylinders but must I upgrade to disk brakes?? I ain't got no booster neither. Thoughts anyone? keep the drums or upgrade? No response from Ugly Truckling so I may have no choice anyhow. Checked spam filter. Notta.

How much to do drum job vs disk conversion...I guess I starrt at VPW brake parts page.

Thanks

Cliff
