Che*y Disc Brakes

[Rick Roby]

So I printed off the parts list from the tread Motoman's Madness. For the disc brake conversion using chevy parts. I have access to all the parts except a few. I found the Hub/rotor from a junk yard yay. But the Spindles and backing plates not sure of year or make, chevy or ford If anybody knows please help.Thanks

Spindles and backing plates should come from a 72-76 Blazer

Certain year jeep waggy backing plates and spindles also

I got backing plates from a waggy axle but it had the big spindles, I ended up just buying new spindles from bronco graveyard, finding 70's parts in a junkyard around here is getting pretty tough, after last years high scrap prices it got even tougher, lots of stuff went to the crusher.

Ok I'm going to be a little tuffer than My Buddies ..Backing plates look for 72.5 to 74 blazer and K10 Tr. these are solid steel plates... later ones will work but they are steel on the mountings but have sheet metal surrounds..which can bend ...
Spindles 72.5 up to 74 4x4 ..I had later ones not correct ..You can mill later ones down on a mill to fit the bearing sizes if you good on a mill....MILLED ONES or Turned ones will work I'm running one of them ...But turning them cost if your don't have the lathe .
... A place to buy spindles is Complete offroads they always have the best price ..
........................
You said you had the other numbers but I'm going to list a couple ..From memory ..A35 AND A37 set bearings ..seals is 4250...spindle bearing kit get from Napa ...SBK1 ..They have 4 parts in theirs and others only have 3 parts ..needle bearing ..seal ...big seal.. and thrust washer...
...brake pads buy the cheapest pads you can ...D52......
...calipers 74 4x4 truck ...and hub & rotors ass. are from 1980 ford Bronco and others ...Use the brake hoses off the 1974 chevy truck or Blazers ......
