Re: Little help needed: original 1964 C10 front suspension?
 

Well most likely you will just go through pads. The rotors will probably not really "wear out". Do you have 71- 72 chevy truck calipers ? just wondering if when you switch rotors, if you will have to switch calipers?
If you lived in the states I would just trade you. I have the rotors with the 5x5 bolt pattern.
If we can figure out what you have, I would love to go down the street to the auto parts store and buy a new set right off the shelf.
Let me know on your calipers, I am wondering if my chevy truck ones are going to work with your rotors. thanks

You will likely just go through brake pads, the rotors will probably not wear out.
Do you have 71 - 72 chevy truck calipers as well ? Just wondering, to see what calipers fit the rotors you have and if a caliper swap may be needed as well. I hope this is a simple bolt on, since I have the 2" drop spindels for a 70 -72, I also have the 5x5 bolt pattern rotors. If you lived in the states we could just trade!
I am excited to know what these rotors are.. it would be nice just to go down to the auto parts store and pick them up.

I'm pretty sure I have 71-72 calipers as well, since they perfectly mount on the spidles.

Theoretically it could be possible that GM engineered some other model with different size calipers (e.g. for a smaller rotor diameter), but still use the same mounting points as the C10, and thus allow one to mount calipers from that other model on a C10. I think it's quite unlikely though.

Hey thanks for the pictures. It looks like it may be a 2 piece rotor in that side picture? does the flange with the wheel studs come off?

Re: Little help needed: original 1964 C10 front suspension?
 

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I obviously had it off when mounting the new spindle and had a look at it back then. It seemed to be a regular one piece rotor.
