Ready to go exept i want to add disk brakes to the front leave the hucks on the back for now. Does any one have and used any particular disk setup and where to get them
disc brakes Our vendor sells front disc brake conversions for these trucks. I used the on for 5 lug wheels. It uses 70's camaro brakes, mounted on custom adapters to fit the stock spindles. You will need to modify the brake lines, and probably want to add a power brake booster, and master cylinder. It will stop well. They also have a 6 lug setup too. Good luck....Mike
Here you go... Ron, here is a really good article about using our host's disc brake setup. You need to scroll down a ways, but it should give you a good idea about what to expect. (You'll need to go to "Front Suspension" link) http://jbhardin-gallery.com/trucks/54gmc.html BTW~ WOW! What a beautiful rig!!! I love all the roll-out glass your trailer has! Can't wait to see the looks you get when you roll into a camp ground with that!
Mike and Zig I like that article it will be helpfull so thanks I see that there will be some modifications butt thats expected. Ill probably go that way when the funds allow.Thanks again guys
You can also buy the adapters for the brake setup, and supply your own parts. That is what I did. I had a way to buy remanufactured calipers, etc cheap. If you have any way to do that, you may be able to save a bit. Just a thought.....Mike
