What Year And Make Of Chevy Cars Or Trucks Can I Buy So I Can Easily Convert My 68 Chevy P/u To Disk Brakes?
In: Ford
9 Feb 2010My ‘68 Chevy C10 shortbed has 6 lug by 5″ bolt pattern. I want to convert to power disk brakes by adding a vacuum booster and disk system from the yard. I need to keep cost to minimum. Before I buy new chrome wheels, I should convert to the new disk brakes in case the wheels are 5 bolt pattern and not the 6 lug. What car or truck should I be looking for so as to get the newest condition disk brake parts, and yet be EASY for me to change over? If I bought the whole junk car, I also need, and might be able to use the vacuum booster, PS, and radio. My ‘68 has none of these things right now. I replaced the wood bed myself and the body is getting painted (Ford) fire red right now. It will look nice. Please help with my wheels question or suggestions. Thanks

You should be able to go up to a 75 year. If you go to a junk yard get the spindle and take it from the top and bottom control arms and use new/rebuilt brake calipers and hoses, be safe GOD Bless

If you want to maintain the hauling capacity of your pickup, then I’d recommend you use pickup parts for the change too. A 75 or newer GM pickup should be fine and shouldn’t require much modification to your existing set-up.

Disc brakes came from the factory in ‘72, so just find you a ‘72 (same body style as yours) and pirate what you need. Then, buy the wheels.
BTW, I did this conversion on my own ‘70 Blazer 4WD with parts from a ‘72 Suburban.
