I'm interested in a set of brackets for a 10 bolt out of a 87 r10. What do you need to know ?

I'm currently working on converting my rear to disc on my '70. Can these brackets also be used when keeping the 6 lug pattern?

Planned on using 1990 K1500 w/ f44 (heavy duty) chassis 6 lug rotors (11.6 dia. and 1.29 thick) and using 71-72 front calipers in the rear. Any foreseen issues I may have? Besides some possible machining...

[Captainfab]

You can not just randomly change the rotor and still have the rotor and caliper line up. I have yet to find any two factory replacement rotors for different applications be exactly the same and interchangeable. I have no idea what the height is of the rotor you are wanting to use. Then there is the issue that most later model rotors do not have sufficient contact area to accommodate the D52 pads without having them hang over the outside edge.

You know that I do make 2 rear disc brackets for the 6 lug correct?

Right, I do know that. The rotor overall height is 2.6"

My intention is to keep the front brakes the same as the rear, by using the same caliper. They have a larger piston then most and are cheap to replace.

I was just wondering if you had a set of brackets that would work for my app?

[Captainfab]

The Astro/Safari rotors are 3.27" tall. That is a difference of .670. I don't know if a .625" thick spacer would work. It might require a .750" thick spacer machined down to .670". It seems like I tried to use the F44 rotor when I developed my 6 lug kits, but I couldn't get the D52 pads to fit, like I mentioned previously. I would have to go back and look.

[M.A.C.'sFAB]

Any info that you could give me on that set-up would be greatly appreciated.

[Captainfab]

I didn't have time today to pull a rotor out of the box and again check fitment of the D52 pads. Will try again tomorrow.

[Captainfab]

Here is proof of what I was saying about the 580438R/F44 rotor's contact surface not being wide enough for the D52 pads.

I see what you mean.... How much is a set of your brackets for a 6 lug rotor with Cadillac/Camaro calipers? I seen it listed for 177 plus shipping?

I was planning on using 10/12 bolt rear dust shields (knowing I will have to change the bolt pattern), will those shields be able to be sandwiched in between your brackets still clear the rotor and caliper? I ask because they already have a cutout section at a specific angle already and was wondering if that angle is close to the angle of your brackets?

[Captainfab]

The prices for all of my products are Exactly the same as in post #1 of each for sale thread just as it says in bold text. Both of the 6 lug brackets are $177.50 plus $13.65 for shipping.

I have never in 40+ years of working on Chevy's seen a truck 12 bolt with disc brakes from the factory. The only 10 bolts with disc brakes are the '88+ 8.5" & 8.6" 10 bolts. I did not use any dust shield when designing any of my rear disc brackets. I have no idea if any factory dust shield will work. Additionally adding any thickness of metal in between the brackets and spacers will alter the alignment of the caliper with the rotor.
