Thinking about Swapping my brothers disc brakes kit to Mcgaughys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1966JSM · 01-28-2012, 06:05 PM

I have the brother deluxe disc brake kit for my 66 c-10 and have been thinking about swapping it out for the McGaughys 13' ( part # 63311) or piecing a kit together like it since it mostly OEM parts. I really dont feel like spending another 750 bucks on brakes..

Does anyone have this kit on there truck?

Like's and dislikes about it?

Sorry to hijack but is there a reason that you are switching from the Brothers kit?

Have you seen http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=465140 he will sell parts you might be able to piece it together cheaper then his list price.

Brothers makes some great products, but so does McGaughys. There is one difference that would might help you decide. McGaughys offers a matching kit for the rear. They have the best price going for 13" brakes front and rear that I am aware of.

Bigger brake setup and I like the floating rotor design

Not sure what your reading, but the ones I have seen installed worked out great.

I used to have the mcgaughys rear brake kit on my truck. They fit and looked great. They do require some machining to the axles.

Great product for the money!
