Drum to disc

[Brandon777]

Is there a 8 lug conversion kit from drum to disc brakes for a 1978 k25? I've really only seen 5 and 6 lug conversion kits.
Thanks

Might be easier to swap 8 lug axles in instead.

If it was a C20 you just need the front control arms and spindles and other brake related hardware.

You have drum brakes on the front! ?

There are disc brake conversion kits for a 14 bolt FF axle. Semi float too

No, I have disc in front and drum in the back, I'm looking for a conversion kit for drum to disc, and I need a 8x6.5 rotor and most kits are 5 or 6 lug instead of 8

I was thinking it was odd for a 78 to have drum on the front. When you didn't specify my brain just went to the front brakes because of the conversion I'm getting ready to do.

What conversion are you doing in the front?

What conversion are you doing in the front?

It's converting my 65 3/4 ton fleetside from drum to disc. Just need a couple more parts and some time to do it.

Nice, I forgot the older trucks have drums all around

what axle do you have 14 bolt full floater or semi floater

diyx4x.com has a awesome disc brake bracket I have used it many times. it uses a front 3/4 ton rotor and caliper
