Wilwood big brake kit on 67 c10... HELP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Parishchief1 · 04-19-2014, 06:08 PM

I'm looking into buying the Wilwood big brake kit with the 14" rotors 6 piston calipers up front & 13" rotors 4 piston calipers in the rear but my truck has a non power brake setup and I'm just trying to find out what would be the best setup as far as brake booster and Wilwood master cylinders? If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks

Your best bet is to probably call wilwood . Their stuff is nowhere near stock and I would want their advice. I have used a few of their manual brake setups and the vehicles stopped great.

This is the same setup I run except I have 14" rear rotors. I would not run power brakes. Run manual with a 7/8 master. If you need a place to order give me a call 419-448-8080

You dont need it from what I have been told. Roger at RPL Customs, and Keith (N2billet) use this method on all their builds with good results.

C10seconds is a member on this board. He has this frot set up for sale. He has gone a diff route with his build and you can save some $$$$. Look him up.

Thanks jmedero.

I do have a really nice set of front 14.25'' wilwoods with red W6A calipers available if you're interested. The calipers are huge! They have been mocked up but never any fluid ran through them.

Let me know

jmedero · 06-20-2014, 10:30 PM

I really wished they would have worked with my set up but someone can get a smoking deal.
