Re: Disc Brake Conversion for my 67' C10 LWB

Yea you guys are probably right.

After all I do want this truck to stop very well and not have problems.

When I put the new disc's I was looking at the CPP setup #6770cbk5 Looks like it is a complete setup and includes booster, mstr cly. $599.00

I will be doing a engine and trans swap, right after i do a front end rebuild and Rear bushing suspension.

I have a Rebuilt 350ci .030 over, 9.1:1 coated pistons with Vortec heads, and a comp cam with a performer eps intake and a 600cfm carb. roller rockers. waiting to be shoehorned in to my truck.

Comp Cam's dyno says 348h.p. & 415 ftlbs torque with this setup, I do want to make sure i can stop.

The Trans/converter is a built 700r4 from phoenix.

It currently has a I6 250ci and a 3 speed manual trans

I would like to lower it a little I want the fender to tire spacing to be equal all the way around the tire.

I dont know how much lowering that will take maybe 3" inches?

Correct me if i am wrong but you cannot use 15" rims with the disc's, 16" rims or larger? or you contact the rotor.

Advantages to dropped spindles, disadvantages?
I will want to still use the truck as a truck for some haulin
