lookin good! you are gona love the disc's. by your info im assuming your still 3/4ton for now. in that case you might be able to get away with the stock mc as well, but im not sure.

My truck was 3/4 ton stock, and still has the stock MC. I'm thinking it will work fine, and I'm not even probably gonna fool with the proportioning..
didn't you find a bigger MC that would fit in the same place? Did that help your stopping power alot?

Go to the parts counter and ask for disk from a 1975 K20 suburban. I got the cheapest ones autozone had YH141049.
pirate4x4 has a great article on the swap in their technical section. I'm very pleased with Diy4x.com brackets I got, I would recommend them to you. The hardware it comes with is nice peace of mind
looking good.

are you sure its the disks from a 75 k20? I thought the swap used a IFS rotors off the 88 up 2500?
