Guys like to convert there trucks to disc brakes. Very good Idea if you convert to V8 or the Big Diesel engine. Those engines go much faster than the Old Dodge ever went. But if your gonna stay with the Mighty Flat head listen up. I have 2 Dodge trucks both WCs from the big ONE WW2. Both bone stock no up grades whats so ever. I use them all year round. No road is off limits, Fast or slow I go. Even the PA Turn Pike. Some round trips of 200 miles. 2 times while driving the truck, I had to stop real quick, folks stop short right in front of me. My brakes are in top shape drum brakes single master cylinder. The old girls stopped on a dime and gave me 5 cents change. Even laid rubber. Dont be afraid of old brakes. Make them right and your good to go. Just because some thing is 60 plus years old dosent make them bad. Once you understand some thing its not to bad. Disc brakes are great and a good idea with a engine swap. But if its the old tried and true flaty keep the drum brakes. Have Fun and be safe. The Dodge Boys
