Yes, but they require a spacer (1/4") between the wheel and the hub to allow 
extra room for the caliper.  I didn't need it on my 57 GMC because I had wheels 
from a mid 70's 4wd already mounted.

Do any of these kits allow you to retainstock wheels?

I bought a disc brake setup from Carter's, I talked to Kelly and he gave me
the group discount. Was real happy with the kit and the instructions were
good
too. The kit was for my 37 1/2 ton
