Question on front disc brake conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone,

I'm considering doing a front disc conversion on my 70, my front wheels are 15x7 American Racing Slot Mags and will I have clearance issues with the 12in x 1.25in rotors? If so what rotors do I need.

Thanks a lot!

You should be okay .I have 15x8 Eagle Alloys without clearance issues.

Buy 63-70 conversion spindles. (Stock height or drop spindles)
Then buy 71-87 HD rotors. (1.25"wide) if you want 5-lug.
Aftermarket 6-lug rotors if you want to keep it 6-lug.
71-72 master cylinder or aftermarket.
Stock or aftermarket proportioning valve.
71-87 HD calipers.
71-72 hoses or aftermarket drum to disc hoses.
ECE is a great source for everything.
