73-87 HD brake question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**CC69Rat** · 07-24-2011, 07:17 PM

I have a 68 C10 with the 73-87 front K member swap. I have 1.25 HD spindles, McGauhys Part # 6072L/R. I need to finish up the brake system on my truck.

Any recommendations for rotors and calipers? I'd like to upgrade a bit, maybe run some bigger rotors and calipers if possible. Are there any hybrid swaps out there? Corvette, etc. ? Thanks.

I have seen c-4 vette brakes setups but they used a porter built c-4 drop member, How big of brakes you need wilwood makes 14" rotors with 6 piston calipers, they also make d-52 dual piston calipers which are a direct bolt in for stock calipers which will allow you do use 15" wheels which I may run on my truck on the front and rear
