I doubt it for 2 reasons. Chevy/GM/Ford didn't do it on their "C" rears. And if you break an axle, the disc brake setup usually holds the axle in the housing

Please correct me if I was wrong ( I was making castles at the air if I’m wrong).
I probably did understand, that brackets and calipers and discs etc. from a Cadillac El Dorado could be swap in 67-87 rearends but I can see almost all of you bought the brackets from different sellers except for nann67 .
Could the brackets of Cadillac work or not?

14 inch 6 piston front and rear, can't seem to find a good pic of the rears.
I'm going to have a tuff time setting up the rear parking brakes with the bear
set up.

Yes the Caddy calipers will work, but my experience with them has need painful. Most of the kits I have seen that offer an ebrake use the Caddy type caliper.

Here's the kit from a forum sponsor ProPerformance, which utilizes Willwood calibers.

Here's mine. Did this awhile ago. They are Summit brand made by SSBC for an imapala. They are 5x5. If memory serves me right, I made a new axle bracket and they fit well. Here is a link, but it looks like they are no longer available.

Pick · 08-12-2014, 11:29 AM

I used the 6-lug Tom's Classics kit from eBay as well.

ZombiePopper · 02-03-2014, 12:49 AM

Great thread,
CafeTony, I REALLY like that wheel and brake set-up!
Hope this isn't OT (?)
But, Anybody do a 8 lug rear disk swap?
Looking for pics and options

Kit I used:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230845329214...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Someone told me a 98ish chevy front rotors. Worth going to local parts store to check...have them pull a few, can always get a refund.

Anyone know what make/model they're using for auto city classic 5lug rotors ?

Doug's68SS · 09-10-2014, 12:54 PM

full foot notch · 09-10-2014, 06:45 PM

Yeah I'm going to use his brackets. I'm just trying to figure out the easiest combo. I was looking at the caprice rotors but if I read correctly I would have to machine the rotors center section. And I'd like to have something with an e brake but doesn't the old cadillac calipers you have to use the e brake every time otherwise they go out of adjustment ?

Doug's68SS · 09-11-2014, 12:53 PM

The impalla SS rotors slipped right on to my axle and the camaro rear brakes have the E-brake setup

71 super · 02-16-2015, 04:48 AM

I have a set- up from tom's classic off ebay on my 68, great product, easy install and comes complete. Set two is on 67 is captain fab's set-up using 95 Camaro calipers, again great set up and bolted on easily. Just purchased a set up from pirate jacks for rear of wife's 66 nova and it is straight forward and easy. Toms and pirate jack both look to be from same company mbm and are well made. i have used two masters from cpp with built in prop valve and they work great. Master on 68 uses aluminum corvette master and cpp ( mbm) prop valve and no issue.

LDO · 02-16-2015, 10:38 AM

Are any of these kits 5x4.75? That's what I need for my truck 12 bolt rear end.

Z10 · 02-16-2015, 08:51 PM

Does this count?
