I have been looking for a simillar set up for my 50. Try Butch's Rod Shop. They have a fair website, but the last time I was on it it was more like a catalog type parts list. They really didn't have much specific information or pictures. I would probably try to call them, they seemed pretty friendly when I dealt with them. They did list a front disc brake kit for Dodge but I don't remember the years. I do remember thinking it would work with my 50 'tho.
Good luck. Jay

They make a kit for 40-early 50 passenger cars. Up t o at least '53 the 1/2 tons used the same size front spindles as the pasenger cars so the kit should fit.
