Scarebird 1970 C10 Disc Brake Installation

[demian5]

I will document the installation of Scarebird brackets and recommended disc brake components (for 6-Lug) on my 1970 C10 pickup.

Cool thing is the truck will have 1996 Chevy light duty 3/4 ton front brakes (6-lug).

First I decided to install a New Master cylinder for a 1972 C10 with Disc Drum brakes and use a NEW CPP combo valve I had laying around. I did have to get adapters for the valve to get it to work with the stock brake lines. I also had to splice in the combo valve connector so the brake light will still work, in case of any pressure loss in the front or rear systems.

Check out my cool heat shield for the brake lines to protect from the headers. At one time I thought that was an issue I was having.

Note: The Master cylinder fittings are not even, the front fitting sits further in than the rear, so had to manipulate the lines and bracket for the Combo valve to get them to align.

Figured I would mock this up before bench bleeding the master as you all know how the fluid just runs all over when installing a bench bled master...
