For Those Doing Disk Brakes. 60-66

[DBRENNAN5876]

Alright I need some help please...I am planning on doing the disc brake conversion on my 1965 Chevy C10 Stepside 2wd truck. I found a 1986 Chevy 1/2 ton 2wd Van for real cheap. Whould the work to convert from...or is the frame/a-arm set up different on a van then a 1/2ton truck of the same year?

Thanks

I did a quick search on Rock Auto, the upper and lower A-Arms are the same for the 1986 G-10 Van as they are for the 1986 C-10 pickup. I would swap out the upper and lower A-Arms, spindles and brakes from the van and you would have your 5 lug and all for the front. OR you could just use the spindle/brake assy if you current arms and bushings are in good shape. You would just need to swap to the 1986 upper and lower ball joints.

Either way the stock 1965 outer tie rod would become the inner tie rod and use the 1986 van outer tie rod with a adapter adjuster sleeve made by Fatman Fabrication.
