    So I finally got some time and good weather to get this together. Now I have to get the dual master cylinder on and run some new brake lines. I'll try to get the pics on here.

    Looking good!

    Document, take pictures, become the expert! I'm running hucks, and we all know what that rhymes with! I'd love to have a "step-by-step" with pictures and be able to upgrade one of these days!

    I posted some more pics on another thread. Not to hard. You need a bearing adapter to use the inner bearing from a 65 1/2 ton hub. The outside will fit. Get a rotor from a 94 chevy 4x4 and have the center hole milled out just a bit to fit on the 65 hub. I also drilled out the rotor with the factory rivet holes the tapped the hub and bolted them together. The hardest part was making the plate for the caliper to bolt to.Took two tries,but got it done. You can buy brackets from CCP I belive,but I'm unsure of the caliper and size of rotor they use. I bet there the same from how they put them together.Had to size a seal up to but no big deal. You just need a parts store that knows how to use a digital caliper and can read a spec book.

    caliper brackets

    The brackets I used were for early Camaro front disc brakes, the also convert to 5 lug, not what everyone wants. They mount up like your setup for the most part.......Mike

    Disc Brake Grease Seal

    Or , simply post up the seal's P/N here so others will know it.....

    FWIW , if you wipe off the old seal , it'll always have tiny raised part numbers
    any competent parts counter guy can match up in a minute .

    Well I got of my butt and walked out to the garage to find out I burned the trash that had the box in it. So I'll try to get the number off the ticket at work. I keep all that stuff in my desk at work.
