C10-Suburban-& Van disk set up same? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I read somewhere on forum that you can you a suburban or van also as donor for disk conversion on 63 C10.
Can anyone verfy that?
Is there a list of what will fit our Pups? (I tried but cant seem to find it again)
Thanks for the help!

Vans are wider from hub to hub.

Search or go to the '60-'66 FAQ index and look for a thread titled "Disc Brake Upgrade Thread"

Suburbans are exactly the same as a truck. Suburbans and Panels are all based on the truck platform. The full size vans have the same 5 x 5 bolt pattern after about '71-'72. While the vans do have a wider track width, the spindles, rotors, calipers, etc are the same as on the truck, Suburban and Blazers. The Van control arms are also basically the same, but they have a different shaft assembly.

On thing to watch out for on the vans is the steering box. While they do look identical to a truck steering box, they turn the opposite direction. At least the ones I have had contact with do.
