68 c20 front disk upgrade. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm upgrading my front brakes to disk and ready to order parts. Not sure what calipers to order. Anybody have part numbers or recommendations for calipers?
Thanks
Richard

Most upgrade to the 73-87 C20 parts.
But that requires balljoint and tie rod changes.
Any chance you can find a donor truck?

Otherwise I would call ECE.

Yes I am ordering 87 bj upper and lower, tie rods inner and outer from Rock auto.Western chassis drop spindles. But there are a bunch of different calipers and didn't know which ones to order.

I think you're going to need a 73-87 C20 centerlink also.
I don't think the '87 C20 inner tie rod will fit your '68 centerlink
