Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Also on the note of disc brakes I was finally able to get alil time to devote to the rear disc brakes and getting them finalized for possible productions runs of the adapter plates. Got everything mocked up and the plates are 50 thousandths to thin so have the new dimensions set so the caliper will be centered on the rotors in the rear when I get the plates made up and ready. All in all enjoying coming up with this lil thing for my truck has been a real learning curve so far lol. Currently talking to a machining service up this way about the best material to make them out of and probable costs to do so in batches of 26 plates and stainless locator pieces. They said just to set it up as a print so that I can take them to any shop with the designing specs runs about 120$ so if nothing else I am doing that for sure. Will know more when I get over there in January to see what they can work out as far as the best materials n such to make this a reality
