Mac,
I bought a six lug disc brake conversion kit for my '57 from Pat Crusse. I
haven't driven the truck yet (the body's not on the frame yet), but it looks
like a top quality kit. You might want to contact him for details:

1948-1970 Chevy-GMC Truck Brakes</A>
I'm not affiliated, just a satisfied customer.
