I have a 1951 Chevy truck with stock straight axle but it has spindles off a 49-54 car. Im looking for a disk brake kit that will fit. All the kits I find either needs stock spindles or don't work with straight axle. Does anyone know if the car kit will fit or will I need to go back to stock spindle.

I no when I was going through the same thing I called speedway and talk to a tec guy there to figure out the best way to go . they were very helpful
but I needed everything from the king pin out , but it works fine
-
I will try to call them. All of their kits I see say not for straight axle tho. That's what's throwing me off.
-
my axles is straight also and mine came from speedway . it is chevy with a king ping for a 34 ford truck I will send a pic of it hope this help
-
Thanks for the pic. I'm going to call speedway and see what they say. They might change the kit to make it work. I just do want to change spindles again I just put them on.
-
I under stand about the spindles . the one I got had spindles and everything . I just removed the stock ones and installed the hole set up .
then I decided I liked the disc so much I installed them on the back also
-
I'm going call them tomorrow. That may be the best way to go with the full kit. I use the spindles that's one it now on my 48 chevy. I really appreciate your help.

(just old). I talked to speedway motors and they said I needed to use the the car kit but I might have some hitting on the strait axle when you make a turns. He said that's a common problem. Do you have any problems with yours hit or any other problems. I'm going to order the kit in a few days.
-
i did have a problem at first , but I built some stops so it was just short of hitting . then it worked pretty good .
-
I was wondering if I could probably do something like that. I haven't​looked it yet. Thanks for your help.

It took a couple tries but I got it
