I used this same kit but it came with 13" willwood calipers and rotors. Kit fitted great except for one upper ball joint shaft was to short. I also used their master cylinder and booster kit for 66 c10. works perfect.

Hey I just picked up a 66 C-10 and am looking to use the same kit. Do you have any pictures of your conversion or any recommendations?

Re: Brake Conversion kit (Perfprmance Online)
 

Haha funny last night I bough this same kit for my 66 in ebay for about 150 cheaper than buying it thru their website..

DId you ever buy and install this kit? If you did how did you like it? I'm trying to find a good but cheap priced kit too. Also do you know if they will work on the Original steelies? I love my steelies!

Re: Brake Conversion kit (Perfprmance Online)
 

The original 15", 6 lug steel wheels are not compatible with any disc brake assembly.

I did not, but what I found is the original steelers will not work. I am still in the process of finishing a shop so I can do this project right. But I have heard nothing but good about this kit.

Cool yea it looks like a good kit. I think I will wait and save alil more so I can buy wheels that work. Probably some rallys. I just sold my 15x8 rallys to a friend that were bought 11 years ago at "truck shop" in orange. Should of kept them but oh well. I will let you know how they work out for me. Thanks

Any kits for a rear disc brake conversion that people have used with positive response ?

Re: Brake Conversion kit (Perfprmance Online)
 

That depends on what you are looking for and expecting. I make 5 rear disc conversion brackets. You would have to source the remainder of the parts locally. Links to the for sale threads in my sig line.
