Re: cadillac rear disc brakes on 70 truck

Everyone has different opinions on which one is better. I went with the Caddy setup because the price was right(free). I put it on my Nova and I have to admit that I haven't put the Caddy calipers on yet. Mine are rusty and need to be rebuilt or exchanged so I have front calipers from an S-10 on there so I don't have a parking brake, yet.
I took the master cylinder, push rod out of the booster (the Caddy's was shorter than my Nova's) and the prop valve and have not had any problems after 3 years of use.
