Aftermarket C20 brakes?

So guys i need to know who makes aftermarket 1970 C20 brakes or any brake parts for that matter, id prefer to convert to a 4 wheel disc or rebuilt drum system with drilled and slotted rotors in the front but i have yet to find a company that makes either of those for the 8 lug trucks?

Re: Aftermarket C20 brakes?

Drilled & slotted for a HD truck? Why?

If you desire increased brake performance, solid rotors that are a larger diameter would offer greater contact area of the friction surface (if they were available). 4whl disc brakes is possible using a later model rear end that's already set-up for discs or a conversion kit that utilizes C20/30 (single wheel) brake hats for a late model & older Cadillac rear calipers (w/e-brake) or C10 front calipers (no e-brake).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

You can use the stock brakes from the front wheels of a 4wd.
