Re: Disk Swap on an Eaton HO52
Thank you so much for posting this, I'm in the midst of sorting out the rear brakes on my newly acquired K20 3/4 ton suburban and am coming to the conclusion that I'll be doing this prior to finding a decent set of rear drums for the HO52 that's in the rear. :)

A rotor from a 2003 and newer van/2000 and newer truck will slide over the hub of early HO52s with the front mount drums. Not for sure on the rear mount drum hubs.
I've been working on a disc kit with components from an 03 van. The only real obstacle I've encountered is finding a machine shop that will cut some flanges for me. I'm almost to the point of buying some plate steel and a bunch of hole saws and doing it myself. All the components are also availible from GM and are priced reasonably. BTW-the truck brakes are priced better than the van. Here's what it looks like. http://s1074.photobucket.com/user/wh...tml?sort=6&o=1 |
Re: Disk Swap on an Eaton HO52
Awesome, so GM has a retrofit kit ? I'd like to know more. My 67 k20 needs rear brakes. I notice Eckler's sells drums and all the other stuff, but is it better maybe to go with a GM kit and switch over to discs on the rear ? Or should I just keep them drums on the rear ? I do use the truck to tow if that matters
