Re: 75 C20 long bed 2wd
What is causing the brakes not too fit?

Re: 75 C20 long bed 2wd
kinda looks like the rotor is too big this truck has heavy duty everything so i dunno maybe i could find some lighter duty 8 lug rotors .would that change the diameter?

Re: 75 C20 long bed 2wd
It might...I dont know for sure though. I would call oriellys and they should be able to tell you if there is different sizes

Re: 75 C20 long bed 2wd
Just cut a coil out of it and you should be good. Each coil is 2 inches. It should not change your ride quality.

Re: 75 C20 long bed 2wd
on rusty chrome parts like you bumper or whatever.. get a piece of tin foil, wet it with water, ball it up and scrub the chrome, takes off the rust without too much scratching.
