How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
How many would be interested in a 13" disc brake upgrade 'kit' for your truck (64~87 Chevy 1/2 ton trucks) that's a less exspensive alternative to current 'kits' & uses the more common PBR 2-piston caliper vs. a custom manufactured caliper?
Price is up in the air because the work isn't finished.... heck, the design isn't finished :lol: . But, other GM kits that offer a similar type of upgrade can be had for around $1K (*more or less depending on options) & you modify your own spindles. So the price SHOULD be close. But . . ..... I know the development can be slow if there's not enough interest. This would be for 64~87 Chevy 1/2 ton trucks only @ this time but the possibilities can grow as the demand grows. I've been in contact w/a manufacturer that is considering the 'further' development of a kit for Classic Chevy trucks (again, think 64 ~ 87) that is based on kits they already sell for GM cars. I state 'further' because they already know what they're doing & have some measurements/dimensions, but have not had the demand to make it more of a priority. So I'm asking you... John Q Public, classic chevy truck owner, is there interest? *Options range from just brackets w/instructions to 'kits' w/your choice of rotor (solid, slots, drilled); caliper (standard or upgraded PBR); pads; billet hub |

Have you guys checked the prices of other 'kits'? $2000-2500.... front only. One manufacturer offer F&R kits for cheaper, but nothing for trucks & don't plan on having anything anytime soon. This poll is to determine if it is worth pushing the development on an upgraded front kit for these trucks. I don't want to tell the guy 'yep.... lot's of interest". I WANT TO SHOW HIM THERE IS. |

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
I'm interested. The ssbc kit is out of my range, would like a kit to fit on the spindles I already have, if that's possible? Or an affordable set that comes with drop spindles...

Yes...but It would be nice to have matching brakes for my 3/4 ton. If I get a 1/2 ton for by son then you betcha.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
I would be interested in brackets w/instructions and part numbers or year model of the vehicle they were originally designed for.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Yes for me when I get bigger rims.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Allright..... some good feedback.
I was looking @ the poll & only one person is not interested (I don't know if I should vote in my own poll)..... otherwise there's alot of positive response. |
Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade

See if there's any interest on 73-87.com. I would have gone over & posted but I spend too much time searching the web for parts possiblities & on 67-72.com as it is.... another site & I would be a single man again. |
Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade
Would be interested in a front and rear kit, just the rotors, calipers and brackets, as I would like to use Hydroboost.
Thanks Larry |
