Re: Decent Brakes on a 70 C10 for today
I find disc brakes more predictable and controllable before lock up. That is where all the stopping power resides. Wheels slowing down just before lock up. When the tires lock up you go from rolling friction to sliding friction of the tires. Tires locked up and sliding will typically slide further than tires controlled to a rolling stop without locking. Thus the invent of ABS.
The self adjusting and less fade if worked hard are bonuses as well.
Some folks may not feel the same and I’m cool with that.
