If you want easy something like a Wilwood kit uses the existing drum spindle and bolts in place with no parts hunting required. (this is what I did on my '63) Cheap? Find an A-body and rob the spindles and caliper adapters and go buy new bearings, rotors and calipers at the parts store.

Al...I think that is the kit that Cass sells..Jegs may have it,too...The nice thing about those kits is that they are complete and you don't waste time trying to scrounge old rusty junkyard parts... Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!
