I am very interested. Thanks for keeping me in the loop through all this. I would like a price on the steel ones with shipping to Apex NC, 27523. Any pics installed. Just wanting to make sure the pad contact is centered on the rotor. Thanks again.

**lks dcvn** · 02-28-2009, 10:58 PM

Also curious to see how this turns out...

Gray Ghost · 02-28-2009, 11:05 PM

Count me in for the news when you get it. I know I want discs at some point.

STOCKISH · 02-28-2009, 11:35 PM

Forgot to ask, how thick is the material you're using?

yellowGT · 03-01-2009, 01:28 AM

im in

jbristo67 · 03-01-2009, 06:36 AM

Does anyone have a parts list so I can figure out how much this would cost to do.

STOCKISH · 03-01-2009, 10:54 AM

You will need calipers and rotors from a 94-96 Impala SS. Also the rear brake hoses for the same car. Then theres an adapter to adapt your trucks brake hard lines to the Impala brake hose. They are the same as the Caprice or Roadmaster rear discs. I made a template and drilled my rotors myself. They look great and have never had an issue with any of the ones I drilled myself. And lots cheaper than buying them drilled.

weav1 · 03-01-2009, 11:38 AM

72 super i am using the impala rotors also they fit right on i had to clean off the center of the axle real good but no drilling

STOCKISH · 03-01-2009, 03:11 PM

Sorry I should have clarified. I meant cross drilled the rotors. The rotors fit on the axle flange perfectly, no modifications were needed. Didn't mean to confuse anyone.

weav1 · 03-01-2009, 03:39 PM

wow how long did that take i just bought the baer decela rotors

jbristo67 · 03-01-2009, 04:35 PM

How much do you want for your brackets. Does 250 sound about right for the whole setup to you guys

STOCKISH · 03-01-2009, 04:39 PM

It took ~20 minutes per rotor. I did all 4 on my drill press. Thay turned out perfect. The rotors cost me $15 each and the calipers were$25 each. I have a wholesale account though so that helps. I have more time than money so I wind up making alot of my own suff rather than buying it.

Hook a brother up with that whole sale stuff

STOCKISH · 03-01-2009, 07:05 PM

By the time I shipped it to you it would cost the same as buying it @ your local auto parts store.

weav1 · 03-01-2009, 07:21 PM

im sure it will be less then 250 i havent got all the prices back yet the big down fall is most places want a core on the calipers and brackets napa the kit is $78 and the core is $82 wtf and i guess it depends on what rotors you want i might just sell the brackets and list the part #s for you guys for the rest of the pieces then you can get whatever you want

jbristo67 · 03-01-2009, 07:38 PM

How hard are these axels to get out??? I have to take them out to put on that bracket right?? HOw much do you want for your brackets??

Gray Ghost · 03-01-2009, 07:38 PM

If I were you that'd be what I did. You should be too busy to do much else once you get them ready to market...

weav1 · 03-01-2009, 07:56 PM

well you can get the axle out in about 5 min i just did it tonight to test fit the brackets you could cut the brackets to slide over the axle and cut off the old backing plates but its not really a big deal some brackets i have seen on here were cut out anyway i will be able to give you guys a price tomorrow night after i get my brackets and calipers i think i willl weld some nuts on on im going to make the hole in the center a little bigger mine wouldnt go on due to the powder coating on the rear end and i dont want to grind it off i dont think it needs to be tight there the four bolts will hold it where it needs to be im thinking around $40-$50 depending on how much i have to do after they are cut how does that sound

weav1 · 03-01-2009, 08:09 PM

i am up for some trades also let me know what you got i need a good set of ram horn manifolds edelbrock intake 2401 for later model sm block with center bolt valve covers need chrome center bolt valve covers just let me know i basicly have a complete rolling chassy and a good cab everything else i need

jbristo67 · 03-01-2009, 08:12 PM

I was thinking about cutting them any way. Glad to hear some one else say it first though lol

jbristo67 · 03-01-2009, 08:14 PM

Thats a good looking frame

STOCKISH · 03-01-2009, 10:02 PM

I would love to have a set of the brackets without a nut welded on the back. And you dont need to worry about opening the hole up further on mine either. I dont mind doing all that. I will gladly send you the money through PayPal as soon as you give me the word. Thanks again.
