Help with brake parts.
So I have disk brakes from a '71 on my '69 GMC. When I'm buying parts like the booster, master cylinder, brake lines, would I just order parts for a '71?? Thanks.

Re: Help with brake parts.
Yes. The parts you mentioned will have to be for a 71 (or 72). The steel brake lines on the frame come out in a different spot, where attached to the calipers vs. where they were for drum brakes...
If this conversion has already been done by someone else, there's a chance they may have done it a little differently...beware. You might post pictures of your calipers, hoses, and such before you buy any parts to make sure... |

Re: Help with brake parts.
also note that some reuse the original 1/4" front lines for the disk brakes - which still works - but factory for the disk front brakes is 3/16" lines.

Re: Help with brake parts.
You might see if you can get the brake line mounting tabs so you can route the new lines in the factory location.
