    I am going to put them on my van someday. And we even have a couple of vans here converted to 4 wheel power disk brakes. But back to basics,,,,,our song says, "change your gaskets, paint over your rust and you still end up with something that you will never trust". And that is really true with brakes. Our 1st gens came with single line "suicide" master cylinders. Any leak, anywhere, and your brakes are gone. So you have a choice to install a dual line,,, front and rear brakes have their own line, off a 2nd Gen. And you need to get rid of those old metal brake lines and hoses. Napa has brake lines, shoes and wheel cylinders. But you need to see what size shoes are on your van. Standard is 2 1/2" up front,,,,2" rear. And they came with a few different size bore wheel cylinders. You can get a hardware kit for the shoes. What is the condition of the star wheels and self adjusting mechanisms? Are your brakes in working condition? Do the drums look good? We will get you all the information that you need,,,,,,
