K10 Suburban 1973, as far as I know it's stock rotor size.
I'll measure it when I get home this evening.

Loads are: Family of three with camping gear. Not exactly a "truckload".

thanks for the responses!

So that truck would have 1.25" x 12" rotors w/D52 calipers. K = 4x4 right? Does someone even make a drilled/slotted 4x4 rotor?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
