i have a 1969 c10 full sized pickup. the drum brakes just will not stop it. can you guys recommend a good setup for the frony only? i want discs on front, drums on rear. i figured all you guys would know atleast one. can you recommend? :help:

You can go with a conversion kit from early classics, brothers, or Classic perfromance products. They range in price, depends on how nice you want them. Most of the kits are single pistion calibers, spindle, your choice of 5 or 6 lug, and what ever kind of rotor you want. You can go with some bad boys from baer or ssbc, but I dont think thats what you looking for. Hope that helps

it does, thanks a lot

73-87 front suspension will bolt right in....:)

And can usually be pieced together cheaper than a kit from an out-of-state company. Those guys are great if your around the corner.

is 73-87 six lug? my truck has six lug. i have some killer sweet six lug rims and cant get rid of them. i know where theres a 73 for sale for $200.00 but the some-beach is five lug!

do you think i could go to the junk yard and get the entire works off of a six lug silverado, like a 99' or something like that?

Any 73-87 swap will be 5 lug.

The aftermarket 6 lug disc kits are based on mostly 73-87 brake parts though. They use the calipers, bearings, seals, brake pads, etc from the later trucks, with a special set of 6 lug rotors.

I bought a kit from Early Classic Enterprises and am quite pleased with it. There may be cheaper places, but none better.

can i get the front suspension out of a z71 and bolt it right on? if not, is it easy to make it work? or will a z71 front suspension even work?

Why not see if you can buy the six lug rotors only from ECE, then buy the parts truck for everything else?

that very well could work. ill check the rotor price in a minute.

whats the ece site name? :)
