It currently has drum set-up on it and I would like to use a disc conversion. What disc conversion product would you recommend? Is there one that is better than the other? Thanks in advance.

One thing to look at is your axel bearings if you can use adjustable or nonadjustable with the kit. 56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

Photo of rear to get a little more idea. Very open to more thoughts. Last edited by ++MAX WEDGE++; 01/04/19 11:14 PM.

Has anybody on here personally have these on their car/truck that has any pro's or cons on any kit they use? Thank you every body for the much need help and advise.
