front brake install advice needed
 

Ive been restoring my 66 for a while and I am at the brakes. The disc conversion was done by a shop in 2005 and it turned out great, plenty of stopping power and all. In 2015 I started the tear down and took pics along the way. I cleaned up the calipers and painted them and stored them. The rotors had been turned not long before I tore things down in 2015 so I left that alone and stored it. I stored the components also and Im pretty sure I should just replace the lines and all so I could use some help identifying what I have so I can order the right parts. I used rock auto 1972 c10 3.0L specs to select the pads, hope I got that part right. They look the same, I think I need to reuse the 2 clips on the old ones. Ive watched this video assuming its pretty similar to what Ill need to do.

Ill attach some pics and hopefully its enough to go by for any help you can offer.

Here is a pic of the components I took out of storage. Looks like I am missing a banjo bolt but I should probably order new ones anyway.

Also wanted to mention that I did download the 1972 shop manual and I assumed it would work to use it as the instructions. But Im not certain what I have as the conversion parts are 1972 or not. Here's a page ex

The pads should be fine as long as they are the same as your old ones.

The calipers- I hope you are lucky.....as you probably know brake fluid attracts and retains moisture. So, there is a good chance that they are rusty inside.

Banjo bolts and the rubber lines are cheap and good insurance to replace.

Sorry I can't help more, it looks like a pretty straightforward re-install.

My luck has been decent on most things but this truck is a different story. I guess for the insurance to just replace them then. The 1972 settings on RockAuto show these as an additional rust protector type. And from the looks its the ones I have now.

I was hoping for something that the shop manuals showed a step for step for exactly what I have since I have never dealt with brakes before. The 1972 shop manual talks about rubber boots on the pins and such and these just dont have them. If you all know of a reference that may be closer to what I have please pass it along.

They used that caliper from 72 up until they went Metric. It looks like the calipers come with new banjo bolts.
