captinfab, i plan on ordering your brackes soon and will be using the wilwood calipers on all four corners. I am going to be running 15x6 stock steel wheels. Will they clear the calipers with no rubbing issues??

**Captainfab** · 02-12-2011, 05:47 PM

The only wheel I have fit up on this rear disc conversion is a 15 x 8 Rally wheel. As long as your wheels are disc brake compatable, I don't see why they wouldn't clear the calipers.

Hello Captain,

I did a little brousing and it looks like a '96 K1500 6 bolt rotor will work with your set up if you make the spacer 5/8" thinner.

**Captainfab** · 02-13-2011, 01:20 AM

I replied to your post in the 6 lug rotor thread.

smashingchuck · 03-05-2011, 02:23 PM

so is the application on the rotors for the front or rear???

**Captainfab** · 03-06-2011, 12:15 AM

They are the fronts for the AWD Astro/Safari's. They didn't come with 4 wheel discs until 2003-2005. At which time they were a 6x5.5" wheel bolt pattern.

Can you please send a paypal invoice to fanceeeface@ yahoo dot com for the D52 rear brackets? Thanks!

**Captainfab** · 04-24-2011, 09:47 PM

Do you want them in bare steel or powder coated?

If the D52 caliper fits early 80's C10s and C20s, any idea of why not the C30s?

**Captainfab** · 05-16-2011, 11:21 PM

Well I don't have any firsthand experience with the single wheel C30's, but with the dually C30's, they use a totally different caliper than the D52. It is much bigger and mounts differently.

look good im gonna order one in a few weeks. couple questions. will my disc/ drum brake booster work, or will i need the disc/ disc booster?and just to clarify its adding half inch to the width of the rearend or half inch on each side?clean work.

**Captainfab** · 05-21-2011, 11:38 PM

Your booster will be just fine. However you should change your master cylinder to a disc/disc master. You will also want either a disc/disc proportioning valve, or an adjustable valve in the rear line. Wilwood makes a nice unit that is all in one.

Captainfab----- you wrote: "These brackets will bolt onto the truck 12 bolt rear differentials from '64-'82 and the 10 bolt truck differentials from '83-'87"...

What is the reason this wont work with a 12 bolt from an 83-87?

**Captainfab** · 05-31-2011, 11:37 PM

Because GM didn't make any 12 bolts from '83-'87. The last year for the 12 bolt in the C10's was 1982.

I bought my kit just over a year ago and just now put them on......I went ahead and blasted, painted them before even test fitting them. I can't tell you how nice it feels when EVERTHING bolts up like it's suppose too....very nice product!!

**Captainfab** · 07-17-2011, 11:12 PM

That looks great

Thanks for the compliment

flamingbig10 · 09-18-2011, 07:06 PM

do you have any in stock, my leaking disc/drum proportion valve has forced me to go ahead and do a rear disc brake conversion using wilwood d-52 calipers and rear diff rebuild

**Captainfab** · 09-18-2011, 11:16 PM

Yes I have a few sets in stock in bare steel. Powder coated ones will be a week or so to have done.
