What year disc brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Steven Sellers · 05-11-2002, 10:03 PM

Hi all, I am still fairly new to the board so I do have a dumb question. What year, 67-72, trucks came with disc brakes or was it an option on all?

TIA

Thanks Donnie, I really appreciate it. I am thinking about calling that other guy about the 71. Do you know anything about that truck, whether it runs good or not and how much serious rust it has?
TIA
