Be sure to post your question also on HAMB ( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/) since fordbarn is mostly stockers and HAMB is into the modified. I think your car looks great, I would leave it alone and drive it.

I appreciate your perspective. You sound just like my dad. I definitely considered just rebuilding the current system wherever needed.
I found this car has an adapter on the front hubs transitioning from 5x5.5 to 5x4.5 which it does not have in the rear which is 5x4.5. I want to solve for that too so converting to disc does that for me too. It is cheap, effective, an easy. My mind is made up. Thanks.
