Excellent Cold Morning... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went to warm my truck up this morning and noticed a nice little puddle around my driver side rear tire. I though WTF.....anyhow, I was running late and didnt give it a second thought. I got to work and put the truck on the lift to see that my fairly new wheel cylinder to be blown out. I pulled everything out to put the rear disc setup on it, only to find out that the truck axle flange is bigger than that on the mounting brackets I have....

So I just put a new cylinder in and went out. Now I have to figure something else out about the rear disc setup I was wanting to run. Damn I hate drum brakes....

Sorry guys I had to rant.

If it ain't one thing it's another... I know how you feel. Seems every time I make a change it affects something else negatively. That's what ya get for having an old truck though!

Yeah, I seen those. That was the original route I was going to go. However I wanted to use aluminum calipers and had a full set of 98-02 camaro rears. I had the disc centers and lung patterns resized for the truck. Never did I think to measure the flange bolt pattern. I have used this setup on multipe car 22bolts and 10 bolts. Just never on a truck rear, now I know.

I am working on a set of backing plates now to use the fbody rear calipers.
