Re: rear disc rotor question (camaro claipers )

'94-'96 Impala SS (or equivalent other GM car) rotors. You will need to machine the "lip" off the axle flange, where the drum normally rides on or you won't get the rotor to sit flush. I pulled the axles and has it done locally for $20. You could open the hole slightly on the rotors but then if you ever have to replace them, you would have to remember to do that again. By doing the axles, you can just swap new rotors on whenever you need them.

Front rotors off a 4x4. I'd look at 71 through 80 Chev K10 4x4 rotors and see how they would fit up.

There are a bunch of outfits making brackets to mount rear disks on trucks. Usually using the 4x4 front calipers or using 76/78 Cad Eldorado calipers with the park brake.

My son pulled the front rotors off his 2000 GMC 4x and outside of the bolt holes being larger I think they have possibilities on a six lug setup. 12 inch rotors though.
