Regarding the "easy disk brake swap " thread
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ad.php?t=35042
Just why won't the '88-'94(?) 6-bolt rotors work with the '73 to '87 spindles. I ask cause I stripped a '85 frame for the brakes. Are the rotors too different to fit the spindle or what? Would just prefer off the shelf parts to special ones. At this point it isn't worth the extra $$ to change now. Just wish I had found this a couple years ago ![]() |

Re: Regarding the "easy disk brake swap " thread
That is the thread I am referencing, used 88 3/4 ton spindles, etc. But either missed the difference or no one said just why these rotors, that use the same bearings would not work on the 73-87 1/2 ton spindles.

Re: Regarding the "easy disk brake swap " thread
Not a problem. Given the way the big 3 do things, the distance between the bearings could be different. Since the back-spacing is it different , is it too much to work with the stated 1/2 ton spindles and calipers? I think everyone here knows that just because there is a slight difference, doesn't mean it can't work.

Re: Regarding the "easy disk brake swap " thread
I think that is what I'm gonna do. At cpp they are $65 each ($129 pair), which isn't that much more than these 3/4 ones. Especially if you figure the cost to modify the setup. Just like it isn't worth it to get the 3/4 ton setup with money already in the parts I have. Yeah, shipping is more. I just would have liked to buy off-the-shelf.
