    Here is one option: 73-87 models

    Stainless Steel Brakes A126-18 - Stainless Steel Brakes Front Disc Upgrade Kits for Trucks - JEGS

    This is cheap compared to other options.

    This option is half the price, but you may get some strange looks.

    Deist Safety 27252 - Deist Safety Parachute - JEGS

    thank you very much, I think that´s the most reasonable option, baer, willwood and brembo are just too expensive, and who knows if they´ll fit on the truck, thanks again

    NP, the others you listed do have more pistons in the caliper, but to be honest I could not justify paying double the price!
