Thank you very much. Two items I would want to mention if you choose to follow the video. First, do not cut that emergency brake cable off just past the feral until you thoroughly have adjusted the emergency brakes so that they work fine. If you do, and the emergency brakes have not been adjusted, you might find that the cable is now a bit short. Ask me how I know. The second item is to make sure that you properly adjust the emergency brake on the calipers prior to installation. I failed to do this, and the gap between the rotor and caliper was wide enough that the emergency brake, when applied, did not make sufficient contact. Then I had to remove the caliper, take it apart to adjust it, then reinstall it. so, if needed, when you first put the brakes on, play with it to make sure that the brake pads are making sufficient contact with the rotor before calling it a day. Again, ask me how I know. L O L.

I understand to put the bracket for the calipers you need to expose the mounting point. If i didnt want to pull the axles i could disassemble the drum and unbolt it. And cut what needs to be cut. Would that work the same? I heard sum people say with the little shop kit they either have to pull or cut. By the looks of you kit its seems the same process. For me cutting would be a bit easier.

I originally wanted the Little Shop kit because it did not require pulling the rear axles. Once i got into it, I found both rear axle seals leaking and had to pull them anyway to replace the axle seals. This made it easier to also remove the drum brake backing plate as well without having to cut it.

No, it does not move the placement of the wheel/tire combination. AND, it worked well with my 15" wheel. A very small amount of grinding on the outer corners of the caliper were needed, but that took less than 5 minutes with my 4.5" grinder.

Got an update? How well does the parking brake work
@laurencevillegarage7 ай бұрын
As an update, the parking brake works just fine. The key to rear braking performance and the parking brake is to properly adjust the pads at installation. There is a specific method to doing this on that style of caliper. The info is available online from a variety of sources. As to the performance, even adjusted properly there is not a noticeable performance difference. I believe this has to do with the small size brakes used to fit within a 15” wheel space. There is probably more surface area for braking with a pair of shoes than these relatively small pads. Now, if you were to increase the size of rotor/caliper to fit within, say 17-18” wheels, I feel like that would be a difference you will notice. The disc definitely look better…bottom line, I personally don’t feel the looks/difference in braking are worth the $$ outlay for the small size to fit the 15” wheel. One problem I did have was that I needed to grind a couple areas on the top of the caliper for clearance of the wheel. IF you run your wheel weights on the inside of the rim, you must be very careful to place them where they are not in the path of the caliper. Or else, they will get knocked off and/or scraped along the inside of the wheel. This happened to me with aftermarket rims. Thanks for asking.

What year is your truck? I have a '96 with a 350 and a stick. I've been thinking about doing the disc brake conversion for my truck so I've watch a few different conversions on KZbin. The emergency brake would be a problem for me because the cable is gone, although I do have a replacement, the 96's require two cables that some how split off at the drivers side rear wheel, so I'll need to sort that out. Also, when you cut that e-brake cable did you add a drop of plumber's solder in back of the stop incase the screw losens. It kind of looks like you did to finish the cable end up.
@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
The truck is a ‘91. Nope, I cut it too short and had to buy a replacement for that part of the emergency brake set up. I did learn to adjust the rear calipers so that he pads fit correctly just making contact with the rotor. If you don’t adjust them properly to begin with, you will have to remove the calipers, pull the piston and adjust. It wasn’t hard, I wish I had done it in the very beginning. Next time I won’t cut the excess cable until I know the brakes and emergency brake feature works first!

@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
It will depend on how you use the truck. Honestly, if you run 15’s and the rest of the braking system is stock, it will look better…but braking performance won’t change much. The stock rear drums actually have more brake pad/shoe surface area than the small rear disc pads. This is just my opinion. If you upgrade to bigger brakes, yes there is a noticeable difference, otherwise you can use the $ on other areas. I won’t do 15” rear disc anymore, just not a good performance vs. cost/labor ratio. Now if you really want the look, piecing the rear together is more steps, but quite satisfying to perform and the cost is not bad, at least less than other kits available.

Thank you for the + comments. I have 2 grown daughters, I remember the “dry” times as well. I had to slow down but if forced me to get creative if I wanted to play with cars. Good luck w your projects.

Will this setup work for a 1974 gmc sierra 4x4?

I don’t think so. However, check Cunningham machine, they make brackets for other applications, yours may be one of them.

I duggest you re-route your emergency brake line from inbetween the leaf spring and frame. Doesn't seem logical or practical.
@laurencevillegarage6 ай бұрын
That is how the factory does it. You would not want to run it below the leaf and can’t run it above the frame. There is a gap between the spring and frame. The spring is not directly below the frame so it is not sandwiched between them. Do you have an OBS? How would you run the cables?

you dont have to remove axles, just cut the plate off the truck

True, my axle seals were leaking anyway…so they got pulled.

Yeah, yeah the 1500 series is stupid simple to convert. Show me 2500-3500 conversion.
@laurencevillegarage2 жыл бұрын
I have plans (in the future) to mod a 2500. It can be done, but the majority of modified sport trucks are 1500's. 2500's are a smaller piece of pie. I have a K2500 as well as a c1500. I hear ya!
