disc brake conversion questions!!!!
 

hi everyone. i just recently purchased a complete disc brake set up off of a 77 el camino. I also purchased 2.5 inch drop spindles from cpp for 70 c10 1/2 ton. now, the calipers from the camino fit on the spindles with no problem, because i know cpp uses camaro calipers in there packages, the problem im having is with the rotors. the rotors are 11 inch rotors and 1 inch thick. i know that the truck rotors should be 1.25 inch thick, but is it still possible to use these 1 inch ones?

and if so, the next problem i would run in to would be with the bearings. the spindles from cpp have a larger diameter spindle than the camino spindles, which means that i can not use the bearings from the camino. my question is, if i purchased the bearings for a 71-72 truck, would they fit in the camino rotors and slide on correctly onto the cpp spindles?, also, the cpp spindles are half inch taller than the camino spindles? how do i solve that issue?

thanks guys. any information would be great, because i really dont want to buy the bearings until im sure because i know they aint cheap! :chevy:

Screw the elcamino stuff.
Buy the correct C10 rotors, calipers, and bearings.
Why make your life miserable?

El Camino rotors have the wrong bolt pattern.
They are 5x4.75 not the correct 5x5.
