c5 brakes into a 63

Is there any way of putting a c5 caliper set up front with out having to buy control arms? Can a bracket be made or sold already to use with a hub? If so who make them.

Re: c5 brakes into a 63

Only way i know is to do a 73-87 spindle swap and a kit like http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=390979 or something close to it http://www.mcgaughys.com/bigbrake.html those brakes are 13 inch rotors 2 piston calipers which is about what the standard c5 brakes are.Or check out http://www.abspowerbrake.com they have a few brake options for your truck too.Or another place http://www.classicperform.com/

Yeh, I think I will give Tobin a call. I got to order some hoses. I just wanted to see if any had made some brackets with a hub type set up instead of buying a set up.
