    I am wanting to install disc brakes but do not want a mix matched kit and trying to avoid the Jamco control arms. Unfortunately Extreme Kustoms does not do the conversion anymore and I'd like to stick with the factory arms.
    Anyone else do the conversion?

    Jamco sells a conversion that uses the stock control arms so you can keep the stock kingpin set up. Fatman makes a bracket that you can use you stock master cylinder location as well so you don’t have to have that ugly firewall mount one. I used the Fatman bracket and installed a dual reservoir master cylinder in my stock location. I kept my drum brakes though. They work great.
