Truckin Magazine Replaces C10 Brakes with Baer

[ERBSIX]

I saw this months tech article which is part of the C10 Buildup Tour.

Truckin replaced the front and rear brakes with Baer disc brakes.

I am curious if anyone else has used this kit & method with any success.
Also, I cannot find pricing information on this system/kit (Baer two-piece 14-inch rotors and the 6P six-piston calipers).
The Baer website just has pictures, no prices...

Here is the article: 1973 Chevy C10 Buildup - The Pickup Fix-Up Tour Part VII: Four-Wheel Disc Brake Conversion For '73-'87 C10s

This seems like a more advanced method as they had to remove the axle from the truck and use a lathe to remove material from the hub...

Image 1) This install required the rear axles to be removed, which meant the differential had to be drained.

Image 2) Next, Baer's aluminum adapter was bolted to the rear housing flange using the provided hardware.


Image 3) The center hubs of our axles were about .020 too large to fit inside of the new brake rotor mounting hats, so they were chucked up in the lathe and turned down.


Image 4) Then, the factory brake line tabs on the rear axle tubes were cut off so the brake line could be slightly moved. The lines were reattached to the axle tubes using hose clamps and then the new calipers were installed onto the conversion brackets.


Image 5) Here is a look at the compact PBR caliper and 12-inch rotors installed.
