Also, will the e-brake caliper still be the 93-97 f-body caliper as in your previous adapter plates?

This rear disc conversion is completely bolt on with one exception. The drum/wheel register will need machined down to approximately 3.06”. I do recommend upgrading to ½” wheel studs at this time, but it isn’t absolutely necessary for the installation. The rotors used with these brackets as well as the calipers are easily found at your local auto parts supplier. The basic application for the rotors is '88-'98 K1500 Silverado or Suburban front rotors. The calipers used on this conversion are referred to as the D369 calipers. These are also found on the '88-'98 K1500's as well as the C1500's. A complete parts list with part numbers is included with the brackets.


The cost on this set of brackets with installation hardware is $177.50. Satin black powder coating is an additional $28.00. Shipping within the USA is a flat $11.65. If you are outside of the USA, contact me for a shipping cost. For payments I accept PayPal and money orders. Credit card payments can be made thru PayPal. To place an order, you can send me a PM here on the forum or you can email me at captainfab454 at hotmail dot com.

Captain, do you still have these brackets available? Did I understand your descripton correct, I will be able to use my stock 15s and have rear disc brakes?

I was reading several different posts on front disc brake conversions, do you have any suggestions on ways to convert to disc in the front using parts found at my local auto parts supplier?

By the way, big props on your contributions to us fellow forum members!:metal:

Yes these brackets are still available. Would you like a set in bare steel or satin black powder coat? These will work with 15" disc brake compatible wheels.

Aside from the spindles and aftermarket 6 lug rotors, you can convert to front disc brakes by using '73-'87 components.

There are a few disc brake conversion threads in the '60-'66 FAQ index.

weather it be E-brake on non E-brake.
My rear rims are 12 inches and have 7 inches of backspace.....

Captain,
would it be possibly to purchase only the main caliper bracket as to be used in a weld on configuration? Understandable if not. I just prefer welded on caliper brackets.

Thanks!

how can I tell which proportioning valve I have? (The more I think about it, pretty sure I just changed the booster & kept the master cylinder.)

Hi captainfab did you ever make a rear disc brake bracket with e-brake that will work with 15in wheels

Bought your setup and machined axles down and rotors work great. With the 7/16 studs there is a lot of space on the wheel stud openings. At the start of post you suggested 1/2 studs. Any idea on application or part #.

Bracket setup is nice!!
