That being said, people do some crazy things to these trucks... sometimes it's hard to figure out what has been done.
Have you checked this link? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=444823
Good luck, Rg |
I have not seen that link, awesome info. I know the rotors are from 71-86 and the calipers are later like 86-79, at least that is what I can gather from part numbers. Assuming the rotors are 71-86 would the PO have had to replace the spindles from that year too? And that would mean the ball joints and tie rods are 71-86 too. But I know you can get spindles that use 71-86 disc brakes that will fit a 67 so maybe that is what is on there now. I guess I need to pull the existing spindles to be sure. Hopefully there is a part number on the existing spindles.
