Need Help 65 C-10 front brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

65C-10$pit · 10-15-2009, 09:21 AM

I bought my C-10 about 5 months ago and want to lower it, my problem is the lowering kit (dropping spindles) are stating that it must have disc brakes in the front. I really do not want to spend over a 1000 on the conversion kits from LNC and Bobs. Does anyone know any other parts company or anyone selling these kits??

If you want to keep drum brakes but drop it using spindles, you're SOL. No one makes dropped spindles for drums, you have to convert to discs.
