Brake pedal help for front disc conversion
I've searched the forum and can't seem to find an answer to this. I purchased a front disc conversion for my '69 C/20, and I'm stuck with the installation of the push rod. The directions say that for these trucks there are two mounting holes in brake pedal arm, and I should use the lower hole for mounting the push rod. The pedal arm on my truck only has one hole. I seem to remember seeing somewhere on here that people have drilled a lower hole in their pedal arm. Hopefully someone out there has run into this same situation and has some insight for me. Thanks.

This has some information on drilling a hole on the brake pedal for the rod. |

Re: Brake pedal help for front disc conversion
FWIW I am in the middle of a disc brake conversion and mild drop on my 71 c10 that I purchased from Hartrods in Las Vegas. He had the best price by far on the complete CPP kit. The CPP kit is very well put together, no complaints at all. All the components are GM so replacement parts will be easy enough to find when necessary. Here's a few pics of the CPP parts and a shot of my best helper for your enjoyment.

Re: Brake pedal help for front disc conversion
I just used the hole already on the pedal and had no issues with my POL kit.

Re: Brake pedal help for front disc conversion
Thanks Keith. Sounds like you only had one hole too on your pedal arm. I have the 8-lug POL kit too. The installation instructions call for using the lower hole, but since I only have the one, I think I'll take your advice and give it a try as is. If the braking doesn't seem right, then I'll explore drilling it then.
