Re: F/R disc brake setup
They do not make this kit for our years. Our price on the Kit for a 2000 chevy pickup and up run $1250.00. pretty pricey
Baer makes a front 14" and rear 13" kit with parking brake We sell them also but here again its pricey Kit 4301389b Front runs $1965 our price Kit 4302126b Rear runs $1243 our price Last edited by mbgmike; 03-07-2010 at 10:51 AM. |

Re: F/R disc brake setup
Yes it is. If i could cut the cost & get MISC pieces from salvage yards i would. Like the guy say Impala parts. I will look deeper into what fits my 67 C-10.
I do want front & rear disc brakes though

Re: F/R disc brake setup
this would be a good time to do a 5 lug conversion if you have not already done it.

Re: F/R disc brake setup
Do a search in the suspension forum. There are multiple ways to do it. I personally am going to use the LT1 F-body calipers with a set of CaptianFab's brackets. Lots of guys are using Impala SS calipers but I want an e-brake so I don't have issues getting it inspected in TX.

Re: F/R disc brake setup
I haven't yet. im so ready. This is a crucial part of my build. I like the NOSEDIVE stance. 4x6 drop f/r disc setup is ideal for me. They say the truck might lock up because the bed is so light. I wouldn't care,i need to see the RED calipers protruding through the Bonspeed "VINSPEEDS"

Re: F/R disc brake setup
the 73-87 I think you have to use the spindles and ball joints at the minimum or you can bolt up the whole cross member and be done with it the backs I dont know find out so I can do it

Re: F/R disc brake setup
Quote:
The impala rear is not a direct bolt in. CaptianFab makes some brackets that bolt on and use either an Impala caliper (no e-brake) or a different set of brackets that use the LT-1 F-body caliper (integrated e-brake). You will also need a disc/disc master and proportioning valve. If it's in your budget, There are also kits available as mgbmike has mentioned that include everything you need for a disc/disc conversion. Price is going to vary widely. It depends on what you ultimately end up using and how you source the parts. It could be anywhere form a few hundred to a few thousand. Personally, I am going with the F-body calipers. I have the brackets from Captainfab and can tell you they are quality pieces. I have not completed my install yet so I can't give you all the details. Captainfab F-body brackets. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=382633 If you search the suspension section there are several threads about disc/disc conversions.

What else i need to the complete this,master cylinder etc My wheels will be 4' backspacing all around.

Re: F/R disc brake setup
You really should search the suspension forum. You have to dig a little but I promise you the answers are there. Several members have done this conversion. All you are going to use from the Impala is the rotors.
Lots of info in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=340444
