New (to me) Panel Truck

I received this 35 DeLuxe Panel in a trade, and intended to sell it. I have too many vehicles, but this is really a solid, nice vehicle. The doors sound like a 30’s Caddie when shut.

Rear Disc Brake Conversion

I would like to convert my rear brakes to Disc Brakes.

Is there a vendor that makes a rear disc brake conversion kit that utilizes the early V-8 (40-48) rear hubs?
