    Does anyone make a disc brake conversion for an early 60's Chevy 1 Ton?

    Chevy do!
    Up grade to a 14 bolt from the Eaton rear end [get better ratios, a posi, and a disc brake rear all at once]

    I hate to dump such a low mileage rear just because of brakes.

    What year of early 60's might help.
    Dualie wheels or not?

    The simple way might be to swap in a 71/72 front crossmember with disk brakes. That would save mixing and matching parts.
    I've got a 77 1 ton front crossmember and a Dana 70 rear for the 51 Chevy 1-1/2 ton I am helping my daughter put together. She wants it to look like it can work for it's biscuits but it still needs to drive good.
