Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation

I used TSM when I did my white 79 Monte which was more of a pro touring build. I found out TSM makes the majority of the brackets for companies like SSBC and others. At the time they couldn't get NEW caliper housings and pistons-now they have a source for NEW ones so their kits can be ordered as 100% new although with the slightly older designed calipers-notnthe PBR ones you have. Or, their kits can also use stock front calipers which bolt to the rear if ebrake cables is something a person wants to delete-that's what I did since I ran an automatic anyway.

I believe for our trucks, it would use a metric GM caliper (1978-88 Monte for example) and the corresponding D154 series pad and related hardware. So you'd end up with stock 1978-88 Monte front brakes but mounted on the rear. And they also have Dana rear pinion mounted ebrake kits too.
