As I understand it you can get the adapters / brackets from Buffalo and source the rest from any parts store (he supplies the list of what pieces you need).

Should be cheaper on shipping, and I've heard good things about his hardware.

I have used the kits from CPP and Performance Online on '54 GMCs. Neither are "bolt-in". Both required modification. Both master cylinder brackets had to be cut apart and re-welded.

Some of the problems on the CPP kit are shown on this page. Scroll down a little to get to brakes.

Give the 5 lug 4+3/4" bolt circle MP Brake kit a look. The caliper brackets fit my 52 Chevy 1/2 ton stock front axel perfect. Didn't have to cut a thing.

Buffalo does make good stuff. He's a great guy also with alot of knowledge he is willing to share. I made my own adapter bracket. I was not hard at all and ALOT cheaper.
