New or used? I bought my new disk brake kit including 2" dropped spindles and new master cyl/booster from CPP all in one kit. They have several different configurations to choose from www.classicperform.com (http://www.classicperform.com/6092chevtrk.htm). Classic Industries has them as well in different options www.classicindustries.com/ (http://www.classicindustries.com/)

Another option...just an option mind you...is to look on eBay. I got mine from there and I am very happy with them.

I replaced the drum brakes on my car with factory disks brakes of a 1973 Nova. By the time I bought all the parts and cleaned everything up I could have bought one of the kits with all new parts for a few dollars more.

I'm guessing they upgraded the master cylinder to a disc brake one? Or did they use the old drum master cylinder? What about proportioning valve?

I ran the stock drum master for quite a while; now I run an aluminum Mopar piece, but never have added a proportioning valve.

Engineered Components has a new disc set-up that bolts to drum spindles that looks pretty good for $525.
