Re: Disc Brake Upgrade Reference Thread

You just need the parts from a '71-'87 C10 with the 1.25" rotors. Then you will have to buy the aftermarket 6 lug rotors. You don't have to swap the entire suspension with the crossmember. Although that is a quick and easy way to make the conversion, but only if the engine is out. Of course that also depends on if the donor suspension is in driveable condition.
