    I actually have a set of rears from a 2013 Kenworth that are disc brake, we swapped them out because one of the axles was bent. Would it be worth selling the disc brake setup separately? I didn't even think about people wanting to convert to disc brakes

    You mean like the lack of seat belts on a school bus?

    A buddy of mine bought a brand new Mac flat bed last summer with drums. Today I was at the same dealership he purchased his from...checking out the new ones. They ALL had discs on them.

    They failed in the 80's and 90's on trailers too. That was the first try I know of. Air gas had them and took them all off.
