The Ford Barn

Now that I have the 38 sedan running pretty good, I find that the brakes leave a lot to be desired. Am thinking of converting with the kit from Early Ford. I realize that I will have to change drums and probably hubs, which puts me into 15" wheels and tires.
You guys with the 15" on your rides: What sizes are you using and are you using bias or radials? Do the radials make much difference in the ride quality?
Did you also convert to modern shocks?
Is there any market out there for all the stuff that will be coming off the car? Everything is new or like new.
Trying to find out what most have done without going thru the trial and error bit that always makes for a higher cost and extra parts stored in the garage.
Thanks
