How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
How many would be interested in a 13" disc brake upgrade 'kit' for your truck (64~87 Chevy 1/2 ton trucks) that's a less exspensive alternative to current 'kits' & uses the more common PBR 2-piston caliper vs. a custom manufactured caliper?
Price is up in the air because the work isn't finished.... heck, the design isn't finished . But, other GM kits that offer a similar type of upgrade can be had for around $1K (*more or less depending on options) & you modify your own spindles. So the price SHOULD be close. But . . ..... I know the development can be slow if there's not enough interest. This would be for 64~87 Chevy 1/2 ton trucks only @ this time but the possibilities can grow as the demand grows. I've been in contact w/a manufacturer that is considering the 'further' development of a kit for Classic Chevy trucks (again, think 64 ~ 87) that is based on kits they already sell for GM cars. I state 'further' because they already know what they're doing & have some measurements/dimensions, but have not had the demand to make it more of a priority. So I'm asking you... John Q Public, classic chevy truck owner, is there interest? *Options range from just brackets w/instructions to 'kits' w/your choice of rotor (solid, slots, drilled); caliper (standard or upgraded PBR); pads; billet hub
