Hi all, new here and looking for some info



Hi all, new here and looking for some information.

I am looking for parts information for a disc brake conversion on the rear of my fathers 72 c10 4x4.

Does anyone have a parts and application list for a salvage yard conversion for this truck.

PM or Post here if you would please.


Thanks in advance for your time

Rat

Re: Hi all, new here and looking for some info

search CaptainFab on this site. he makes the brackets, then you'll start running into all the other components you need for the swap.

You guys Rock!!!


THank you so much. My father is 71 years young and still very active in hunting and fishing. He put 16 inch wheels and slightly larger tires on his truck and has not been happy with the braking since, even though he is very happy with the tire and wheel combination.

I am going to buy the parts for this conversion for his birthday in September.

I'll be quietly sticking around here and reading posts, especially Tech articles. I may even post once in a while... =)

Again, thank you so much.
