My disk brake conversion
Here is a little photo essay on my disk brake conversion from Ray Suiter. It's the best thing I have done so far to my truck. The job also included all new brake lines and new wheel cyls for the rear drums. So here goes:

The master cylinder and the replacement spring. You can see how the original spring bound on the M/C so I found a new shorter one at the auto parts store.
So that's a little look at how I spent most of my free time this past summer. It is worth it and the truck stops great!!

Only one question, What kind of grease lube did you use in your front hubs?
Cause in the picture of the front hubs, it looks like regular lithium grease to me not high temp. Maybe there is red high temp grease in USA and if so, it's my mistake.
Down here, the high temp bearing grease is more like tan or yellowish.
Maybe it's possible to use regular grease with disc brakes but I was always told it was not.
