The parts you need are from a 1976 or 77 3/4 ton GM 4x4 truck,rotors and calipers will work with those brackets.I hope this helps.

mothertrucker424 · 03-10-2009, 08:17 PM

it does and are 1/2 caliper the ssame as 3/4 ton calipers?

tractor1963 · 03-10-2009, 08:22 PM

No,I dont think they are,I know the brake hoses are different,the banjoe bolts are a different size from 1/2 to 3/4 ton.I know the part #'s are different if you look them up.

mothertrucker424 · 03-10-2009, 08:35 PM

tractor1963 · 03-10-2009, 08:39 PM

I'm going with the ruffstuff, but this link gives info on e-brake:
