F-body rear disk brake swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys I've been considering the mid 90s fbody rear disc brake swap for my new c10 and have a few questions.

1- Can I use 5x5 disks?
2-To install, I need to remove the rear axles, Is there a bearing kit that has everything i need to put the axles back in with all new bearings?
3-How do I link up the factory parking brake cables to these calipers?

I have 97 F-body calipers on my Suburban. I used Captainfabs Camaro caliper brackets and the rear rotors from a 94-96 Impala/Caprice. I have yet to hook up the e-brake cables.

Here is the link to Captainfabs Camaro brackets. There is info on how to hook up the e-brake cables.

Have the 96 calipers on rear of my 67 and with captain fab brackets and Camaro rear hoses, works great.

Is there a reason you guys didnt use the brackets in the picture?

I have the same kit, never tried it. Give it a shot and see if it works.

If those brackets came off the Camaro I believe they won't bolt to the axle flange on your truck.
