Disc brake conversion
Hi guys new here and I have a quick question. I was wondering what rotors and calipers are used on the conversions offered from CPP, ECE and others? I would like to purchase the spindles and I have a friend who has some new spare rotors and calipers from his 72 I can get for free. Just trying to keep the costs down, I tried searching here and other places with no clear answer. Thanks in advance Mike.

Re: Disc brake conversion
Mike, I purchased the kit that ECE sells. When I bought the 4/6 drop kit with the drop spindles I purchased the front brake disc conversion kit with it. Great kits by the way they supply everything you need. The rotors I keep with the six lug style because I didn't want to purchase new wheels at this point in time. The rotors, calipers, hoses, bearings , seals, dust plates, etc. all look like stock stuff that Napa or Advanced auto could supply you. I believe they told me at ECE just ask for parts from 1971 to a 1984 truck. You should be fine with the parts that you mentioned to save yourself some money. Rick

Make sure the spindles you buy are the HD version and NOT the 81-87 Light duty version. Your buddy's 72 rotors will work fine on a HD spindle, because they are 1.25" wide.

Re: Disc brake conversion
What year brake hoses are used? Are there any that bolt directly to the existing drum brake hard lines?
