Are there any plug/play brake kits for the front? The only thing I've been able to find on searching is Wilwood (140-14065-R Classic Series Dynalite Front Brake Kit) but it's universal so I'm not sure how well it will fit in. I know I'll need to run new brake lines, and I'm planning on trying to do a Hydroboost setup for the power steering and brakes as right now the brakes are super squishy and something is FUBAR'd with the drivers side caliper. I know I also need a new steering box and plan on doing the Van LCA's to drop the front (and eventually an axle flip on the rear to match).

 

I have not found any kits. Our calipers have a decent piston size though. I'd going the hydroboost route.

Edit: consider a new prop valve. Our old cast iron ones like to jam up with rust.

 

Ive had several of these trucks, and as long as all is right with them as designed, I have never had a problem with them stopping well. No upgrade needed. make sure rotors aren't worn/machined undersized, use good grade (middle of the road at a minimum) of pads make sure nothing is frozen/seized,
make sure REAR brakes are working correctly, oil seals on rear diff aren't blown, wheel cylinders aren't blown or seized/stuck, and adjusted up, drums are in good shape. rears out of adjustment will give a low pedal every time.
