I'm looking for a pair of front hubs to work on disk brake conversion for my truck, I'd like to build this on the bench and keep the truck together. Anyone have a spare set they'd part with?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt - keep a camera handy, and post about the process and your progress, ok? This is one of those things that I think are very much of interest (at least to me!)... :-bd

@46HudsonPU - Speak for yourself. If you'd follow Walt's instructions from his published accounts, you'd have all the brakes you will ever need in a Hudson and then some ! ! !

I know drum brakes can dialed in. My pacemaker has very good oe brakes, and I probably won't change them. There appeal of disk brakes to me is no adjustment and almost no maintenance.

I picked up a complete set of late model mustang brakes, so I'm playing to see if I can make it work. The first issue I see is it will be very tight with stock wheels. Beyond that, it looks feasible. Parts are recent, Well made, and economical.

I've talked to labud and pridemore, both have made good kits but aren't doing now ( or maybe ever?)

Just another side project to occupy my time.

Matt - Thanks for the clarification. As stated, I have an acute interest - if for nothing more than to see 'how you do it'. ;-)
Of course you'll run into and hear from nay-sayers, etc., however, try to ignore them. The world is a big place - plenty of room here for everyone!
