after reading this post I am very encouraged about getting front disc brakes and a much bigger selection of wheels. My question now is who has new 51 or newer spindles for sale and if I get the newer spindles and bolt them in can I then just bolt on a turner disc brake kit for a 51 and newer car or should I go a different route? Has anyone done this other than Sonny? I would love to hear how it went. Also has any one mounted a brake booster master cylinder setup under there car?Thanks

I haven't done this swap, but I have a pair of the later spindles that aren't doing anything but laying in a box. Maybe you could put the lazy buggars back to work!
1957 Transtar 1/2ton
1963 Cruiser
1960 Larkvertible V8
1958 Provincial wagon
1953 Commander coupe
1957 President two door

that sounds great I could do the swap and post with pics to help some of the other guys out. This seems to be a topic asked about many times as far as I can tell from my searches on this forum and across the net.As you can tell from the pics I attached to my other post I have a lot of work to do on this project but it sure would be nice to get these gotcha problems like the front brakes and the back fenders that I need to replace taken care of so I can concentrate on the rest of the car without worrying about getting close to the end and finding out I can't get fenders or good front brakes.please email me with the details thanks again.Comment

Don't forget to add a dual reservoir master cylinder while your at it.
For questions about the Turner brake mod, ask him. He should know.Comment

It may help with your project. A power booster under the floor is not possible but under the front guard is quite easily done.
