Disc brake?
What year did Chevy 4X4's start coming with disc brakes?

Re: Disc brake?
I think 71 or 72? I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Re: Disc brake?
Too add to my first post...They came out in 71,On both the 2wds and 4wds.The 70s were close to having discs up front.They converted to a open knuckle axle but kept the drums for the 70 year and finally in 71 they upgraded all trucks,burbs,panels,blazers,jimmys to discs.

Re: Disc brake?
If you are going to pass just because of the drums,don't let that stop you.Chevys and GMCs had disc brake front axles from 73-87 and up to 90(?) in some cases.Just buy one and bolt it in.Just some brake upgrades and some other minor stuff and you have discs!
