how about a 10 bolt (on an 89) disk brakes???

[solowookie]

I've seen write up's on both the 14B and the 12B, but nothing on the 10B for disk breaks??? anybody know if somebody makes something for this application???

Stainless Steel Brakes and a few others make a 10 bolt disk kit. Apparently, the rear disk setup off of a 99-up Silverado is a direct bolt-on too.

hey, that could be some really good info to know!!! I'll have to check it out and see if this is cheaper then doing the kit from SS!

<font color=blue>TSM makes the brackets, your parts store has the front rotors and the junkyard has some 80-85 eldo calipers. Add flexhoses and some caliper pins and your done.</font color=blue>

I'm gonna have to put this on my list of to-do's cuz I like the disk's on my other k5 too well

could you take the whole rear end from a 99 up silverado and swap out an 89, and what would you have to do with the proportioning valve if anything


It needs a bigger motor.
what's in it now?
doen't matter it NEEDS A BIGGER MOTOR
89 350tbi/700r4h/np208/4.11's

That's exactly what I was thinking - I've been watching the boneyards for one, and haven't seen one yet. According to my local brake guru, the proportioning valve shouldn't need changed, only the lines and e-brake cables. Spring pads would need relocated, but that's quick and simple. I'd really like to get my hands on one and see if it works, since I could probably use a new rear-end anyway.

I have a 10 bolt I did with the TSM kit about 3 years ago. All went well, although I had to go to the yard to exchange caddy e-brake calipers twice. Couldn't be rebuilt. No problems with operation over the years. Hindsight being what it is, I would just make the brackets and use standard front rotors instead of spending the $ for the TSM kit. Just my .02 $ worth.

If you ain't hurt, you ain't playin' hard enough.
