what can I use?
 

I am about to take possession of my 1926 Ford. I know I should get the motor running but there is a thing nagging me. If I want to switch form 4 wheel drum brakes to more modern disc drum set up what can I use? The truck has a drop front axle. It has ford bolt pattern. I want to make it stop better once I get it running. Any suggestions brakes master cylinder etc.
Thanks

Drum brake are good enough for a light hot rod IMO

The model T came without any drum brakes.

Model T's did not have 4 wh drum brakes, they had a transmission brake and a parking brake in the rear drums. It sounds like you have a mixture of parts not Model T.

Yes my truck is kind of frankensteined. Im just thinking forward for things to fix and replace.

We would have to know what front and rear axle you have to be able to give much advice. If it's model A then a person would need to know what fits that set up as well as the modifications to get it there. There is a lot of information on the HAMB forum for modification of early Fords of the various model years but they would need to know what you have as well.
