cpp caliper question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nordic · 07-08-2015, 07:28 PM

On my 1958 I used CPP 6lug disc brake conversion, I need to replace the left caliper and there is no numbers or casting marks, Does any one know a part number for a replacement? I do not want to order an other one from CPP,

Thanks,
Nordic

There are 2 designs commonly used the newer one is from an 85-90ish S10 it is not as long as the other which is 71-87 Fullsize chevy truck. The caliper is a bit larger. You should take it to the parts store and with the above mentioned it will be no problem matching it up.

Make sure you get the correct side with the bleeder on the top. They will fit either way, but almost impossible to bleed with the bleeder on the bottom. I know from experience....

Yes I agree and there should be a L and R molded into it.
