Re: Decent Brakes on a 70 C10 for today

There is a lot of good advice for you in this thread. Almost all of it is increasing the ability of the stock system but you keep wanting to throw money at it...

The Corvette brakes are NOT as good as the truck brakes for the truck application. Get some good pads and shoes, adjust the rears and drive it. Get your drums and rotors turned for a fresh surface. You should have more than enough brake for any sort of 15" tire you would have on it.
