I suggest the "dimpled and slotted" version instead of the cross drilled.
10% off this weekend also.

The only question I now have is what zinc finish will end up looking the best after some miles are on them, the black or silver?

Which do you think??

I don't really know.
I haven't seen any of these in person,... but they have to be better than bare rotors.

You can also try R1concepts. They have really nice products. I painted my rotors with high heat rustoleum gloss black when I installed the dimpled and slotted rotors. Installed the pads and painted the calipers with G2 paint from R1. It's been on there for years and still looks the same as the first day. Good stuff.

Hey, I'm a '60 swb fleetside owner and was wondering: On an '85 swb fleetside, is there any way to determine if it's equipped with heavy duty rotors without actually removing the wheels/brakes? I'm helping a friend lower his truck but haven't fooled with a '73-'87 in quite a few years..
