Re: 69 C20 4x4 project - the mutant
One of the snags I ran into was that the brake donor was missing the calipers so I found a G10 van with 1.25" thick rotors and D52 calipers thinking they would work. Wrong. Turns out the brake hose boss on the back interferes with the steering knuckle just enough to keep the caliper from seating all the way so it can be bolted down.
After finding this out I went back and found another K20 truck that just arrived and pulled the proper calipers off of it. Different casting than the G10 rear wheel drive calipers.
The 78 K20 calipers clear the drum brake Dana-44 housing like they were meant to be there. Tight fit but clear everything even at full lock.
