not to sure about that statement.... 10 bolt cars is different from 10 bolt trucks... otherwise the LS1 rear caliper brackets would bolt on (which they dont). I have also started designing c-5 brackets with internal e-brake... but have no test rear end or parts. so I dont expect the design to leave the comptuer screen unlike the 13.8" rear disc conversion I just performed on my silverado.

I also do not know if the front rotor "hat" is the same as the rear. I say that because another member bought the mcgaughs kit and it uses C-5 front rotors for the rear. You have to machine the axle flange O.D. to fit if I recall correctly..
