Anyone have pics of rear disc brake setups - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

406_SBC · 06-21-2004, 07:41 PM

Looking for any pics of rear disc brake setups in 67-72's, any links or pics would be awsome!
Thanks!

here is a couple pics of a set we installed (we had them plated, they don't come that way), the kit was from CPP.

Here's mine. There mid 90's Impala caliper and rotor with a custom made backing plate.

406_SBC · 06-22-2004, 01:12 AM

Thanks for the pics, both look sweet!!! Question are there any easy setups for converting to disc's???. Easy meaning like the front end disc assembly from a 73-87 chevrolet.

*link no longer valid sorry*

super72 · 06-22-2004, 05:54 PM

Just wondering how much does a conversion kit cost?

Prerunner1982 · 06-22-2004, 05:59 PM

check in the 73-87 board, Swervin Ervin (mike) just did a set up, using caddy calipers.

*rickspickuppart* · 06-22-2004, 06:35 PM

the complete 12 bolt kit was around 500.00 - 600.00 (I think), and it was w/ the parking brake provisions. It was literaly a direct bolt on kit.

Thanks Budweis.

Blackbird's Custom Trucks also has 12 bolt kits that I will be updating his site with this weekend.
The prices will be the same as the 14 bolt prices.

I have pictures of them on a '72 blazer but not here at work.
I'll post them when I get home.

Here is our d60 kit on my '72

*ghetocrewzer* · 09-09-2004, 08:06 AM

I am usin an old lincoln 9 inch with disks and the bolt pattern is already the same just center hub is bigger but it wont matter since I am runnin aftermarket wheels anyway. I will post some pics as soon as i get it cleaned up.

nate68 · 09-09-2004, 08:35 PM

i did the same thing. late 70's lincoln Mark V (mine was from a 79) same width as the 71-2 rear ends.

Big69C20 Toy · 09-10-2004, 10:10 AM

Do you want pictures or just want to know a place?
I posted the Dana 60 up above in my previous post. I also run the 14 bolt hit on my 1 ton '86 blazer.

Blackbird's Custom trucks is where they were made..

I've seen the Blackbird's stuff and been thinking about doing it for a while now. I was thinking more HI end stuff for 3/4's, there are tons of BAER and Brembo stuff for the lighter duty/weight but i dont know of anything for the BIG trucks... Fronts or rears.

I was thinking the brakes from the SRT-10 Dodge would be some FUN (incredibly powerful) brakes for our trucks, heck most newer systems would be a big upgrade.

Just wondering if anyone has had the joys of fabbing a new front or rear setup aside from the Blackbird's caddy-using rear setup and the 73-87 front disc swap.

capev86 · 10-24-2009, 04:46 PM

easy upgrade for a 3/4 or 1 ton....find a 2000 or newer gm truck....they have disc brakes. parts are easier and cheaper to get because they are factory, not aftermarket. and an e-brake setup in the caliber is asking for trouble. a drum parking brake is much better and gives you more clamping force...a good thing when parking your HD truck on a hill with a big flat bed or whatever hitched up. i plan to go this route in the future. i always search for factory based upgrades first before i go to the aftermarket.....unfortunately salvage yard based hop ups are a dying art!

**leddzepp** · 10-24-2009, 06:01 PM

As long as this thread has been dug up....does anyone know if Rallye wheels can be used with a rear disk brake set-up? I asked this a while back and never got a definite answer.

powell72 · 10-24-2009, 07:36 PM

The Impala setup WILL fit behind a rally, I mocked it up awhile back to make sure.
