Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

I have had caddy calipers on my work truck for 7 years. Never had a problem. I have made a habit of using the parking brake. the truck is parked during the salt season. I have over 70000 miles on mine and have not changed the brake pads yet.

Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

I've had a Champion aluminum big block radiator laying around for a couple years and finally got around to installing it. A bit wider and taller compared to my original 350 sbc radiator. Shroud will have to be cut/modified to fit. I'll have to fab/buy some brackets. Will use without for now. Pics will follow.
