brake conversion
 

Hey I was wondering if the power disc brakes on a 1974 chevy c10 could be converted over to a 1969 chevy c10 that has drum brakes?

Does any body know?

Re: brake conversion
 

It will work. The best way (and easiest way) to do it is remove the entire front crossmember from the donor truck. You will also need the master cylinder, power booster and proportioning valve.

Thanks I appreciate your help!

Welcome Rodney! You can search the FAQ's section for related stuff.There will be way more info than you need but you should find a write up on exactly this swap.

Re: brake conversion
 

Hey the 69 has only two brake lines coming off the valve proportioner one for the front and one for the back. And the 74 has four lines coming off the valve proportioner for each wheel. Can I use the valve that is on the 69 or do I have to use the one off the 74 and run four lines to each wheel?

Hey I searched the faq's but I didn't find anything that would help

Re: brake conversion
 

You should definitely not use the 69 valve. Not sure how to adapt the 74 to your application. You could use one from a 71-72 or an aftermarket disc/drum.

Re: brake conversion
 

You will need to use the valve off of the 74 along with the front lines associated with it.

These should answer any of your questions.

Re: brake conversion
 

Hey I just now noticed that my 69 has six lugs and the 74 has five. Is there a thread on that conversion process? The other 2 threads on the brake conversion has helped a lot thanks

Re: brake conversion
 

Specifically what conversion. Take the 74 disc and make them 6-lug or make the rear end 5-lug? LMC, CPP, and ECE all carry bolt on 6-lug front discs and any 71-72 truck rear end will swap into yours.

Re: brake conversion
 

So I can just buy 6 lug rotors

Re: brake conversion
 

So I can take the 74 disc that are 5 lug and just buy some 6 lug rotors from a parts store?

Re: brake conversion
 

Do I just tell them that its for a 74 with 6 lugs

Re: brake conversion
 

I don't know of any parts stores that carry them. Strictly specialty aftermarket:

Here is what I am doing to have more pics if it helps

Re: brake conversion

Re: brake conversion
