i'll post some pics of the setup i'm using....it uses camaro front caliper--don't need a parking brake, caddy rotors, and a bracket i picked up on ebay. if you want/need an e-brake, rear calipers from a camaro or a caddy can be used. i'll get some pics tonight after work

ucmydust68 · 08-06-2003, 12:10 PM

sweet thanks, i would need a parking break im running a six speed so i need that to stay still

slam33 · 08-06-2003, 10:01 PM

rin68 I would like to see that too. I have the 77 Caddy Seville rear set up but the hats will not fit the axles unless I turn the hub down.

rin68 · 08-08-2003, 04:01 PM

slam--I had to turn my axles to get the Caddy rotors to fit, the setup goes together well. hopefully performs well too. here are the pics.

paul i your the man, and the price looks good,i have power brakes,but will i need to change prop valve?and do you keep the disc kits in stock? if so i will come down and check them out

slam33 · 08-09-2003, 09:18 AM

Are those the 10" or 12" disks and what disc application are you using ?

rin68 · 08-10-2003, 12:12 PM

They're 12" discs, from a 77 Cadillac Sedan deVille. I'm using Classic Performance Products master cylinder/booster/prop valve setup, it's supposedly set up for 4whl discs already but i might have to add an adjustable valve. hopefully in the next 3 wks i'll be able to get all the parts on the truck i'll post results/performance when its up and running

slam33 · 08-12-2003, 10:44 AM

Try the car and truck shop, they have a 4whl disc prop valve

**GMCPaul** · 08-15-2003, 08:18 AM

Our rear disc kit comes with the 12" rotors in either 5bolt on 5" pattern or 6bolt on 5 1/2" pattern, and they use the Cadillac style calipers so you can connect the emergency brake and keep it functional, they also include all mounting brackets, hardware & hoses. Chip we try to always keep everything in stock, but it always pays to call in advance as our inventory is always going in and out the door. The prop valve should be changed to a disc/disc valve or a adju7stable prop valve should be added inline to adjust braking bias.

The trick is to find the mounts by them selfs. the backing plates I have need to be redrilled to fit my axle housings.
GMC Paul, do your hats fit a standard hub or do I need to turn down the hub ?

rin68 · 08-18-2003, 03:36 PM

the backing plates/brackets i used came from Steeltech Solutions in Marion, IL; i don't remeber the phone number but could probably dig it out if anyone is interested
