dirtjumper63 · 01-09-2008, 06:12 PM

the motor is a 355 sbc, 4 speed, power steering swap as well as disk brakes front and back, custum built air ride setup, fuel tank behind axle, im sure there is more but thats all i can think of right now. and last but not least a LOT of hours of body work

mtburg71 · 01-09-2008, 06:49 PM

Dirtjumper63,

I used the CPP rear disc kit on my 65. Worked great. The emergency brakes work very well, only required some cable bracket work on the trailing arms.

I used a 1987 master cylinder and a 1971 double diaphragm booster.

Rear brake lockup is a problem on rear discs. I used a manual proportioning valve and pressure gages on each line to allow setting the pressure split just right. I run 1200 psi front 600 psi rear which works well for the unloaded truck. With a load just crank up the rear pressure.

There are a couple of pics in my gallery.

tell us more on the Brake set up what car /model componets did you use?

harbourmicah · 01-14-2008, 06:53 AM

where is the gallery?

**TR65** · 01-15-2008, 05:19 PM

The kit is CPP (Classic Performance Products) 6366RWBK-6E

The kit includes
6 lug rotors AR-8608E
Left and right calipers 4138 and 4139 with e-brake
new studs - 610-259
e-brake cables - 6366EBC
rear brake line kit 6772RLK-OM
disk brake bracket kit - 6372RDBK

The kit uses 80-85 Cadillac Seville Rear Calipers with Emergency Brakes.

The trick is fabbing up the brackets if you don't buy the kit. They need to be very square with the rotors. Shims are provided to square them up.
I believe the rotors are custom machined for this application?

Here is the link to the gallery
