does anyone have the part numbers for loaded calipers and anything else I need for the disc brake conversion on my 14 bolt? the numbers on some of the older threads I looked up aren't working anymore.

links would be great. I got my package of goodies from ruffstuff and the rotors should be here in a couple days. this project is moving (slowly) right along. :D :D

all I need after the calipers are new brake lines and it'll be done....except for moving the spring perches and shock tabs...
 
Are you looking for a caliper with an e-brake? If you want e-brake then you need 1976-1978 Caddy Eldo rear calipers otherwise it's just any GM truck from say 1971-1987 and even later depending on application. I would choose a caliper though that is the same year or newer than the rig you're putting it on so the banjo bolt sizes are the same.
 
I used 1985 3/4t front calipers for my conversion....no e brake equipment though.
The lines I used I measured and had them made here:

I used 78 3/4 ton front calipers on mine (89). Homemade brackets and entire set up though, not too familiar with the Ruff stuff package, sorry. No E brake on those either.

I got hard brake lines at the parts store, strung a piece of copper tubing to approximate bends etc. then got the overall length, bought a pc closest I could find standard length at the parts store. Short hose I bought the standard front lines that would normally go with the 78 3/4 ton calipers. Made a bracket to accomodate them once I got everything else in place.

Like 4X4HIGH stated, almost everything will fit with a bit of work, depends upon how much work.
 
looks like, from reading around a while, it doesn't really matter. some people say to go with the larger ones, some people say to go with the smaller ones.

thanks for the help. off to spend more money. :D
