Rear Disk

Well trying to get this mod done this winder. Want to use a single piston caliper w/ parking brake from Wilwood,but the price is going to keep me from that for now($227 ea). So will use the GM 79-85 Caddy calipers w/ parking brake. Just ordered a set w/ pads New,off E-Bay $138 shipped.Have the brackets from Skybrake ($70), for use w/ GM calipers. Cable will be from Lokar( will get the weekend @ the GoodGuys show),& the rotors ,drilled/slotted SVO 11.32"/0.95 thickness will come from brakeplanet.com ($86 for the pr.)Will post photo's once I get going on the install!!If any one ( Seth I know you run GM unit/no parker)has run these calipers,I would like to know if any problems to watch out for!Seems these units are used a lot on hot rods!

sounds like a good sticky to me! i know my buddy was talking about doing rear disks on his truck. and some ford guys yota rearends as well.

Thats sounds like a good setup Gary. I like how you have included provisions for an e brake as well. I know alot of ppl would say you don't need an emergency brake, just lay it out if something happens but I disagree personally. I know it wouldn't fly with the transport ministry here, thats for sure. I would be interested in a pattern for the caliper bracket when your done, keep us posted on how it goes.

get a setup from phattys fab!!!!

a buddy of mine ahd no parking brake and always laid it out in front of the apartment everyday, well one day it started raining and we he a crash sound and the neighbor knocks on our door. the truck slid down the inclin and into a low wall accross the narrow street.lol. just dented his rollpan which was already ko'd. the same wall took out mu rocker and door on my old 720. sry its offtopic but funny.
