Re: 99-06 NBS truck disc brakes on 67-72 truck?

I went to the junkyard today and got a a bunch of NBS brake parts. Still got a few more parts to source but for starters I grabbed front calipers and brackets from a 2005 Silverado and rear calipers,brackets,backing plates, and parking brake cables from a 2003 Tahoe. Grand total of $140.


Planning to use CPP Modular spindles up front so I still need to source a 6 lug hub that uses A3 and A5 wheel bearings. I had been thinking I would use the front drum brake hubs but they apparently use A2 and A5 bearings. My next plan is to go back to the junkyard and get some 88-98 C2500 front rotors. I will then machine the entire rotor surface off and turn it into a bare hub for the newer rotors to sit on.



I will continue to try and update this thread but it will be an ongoing process as I don't have the truck in my garage right now.
