NBS Front Brake Swap for OBS Trucks

[ccreddell]

So still no way to get this going on a 2wd?

So far, now that I have a NBS front suspension to play with, it appears that the only way to make this work is with custom control arms. What I havent determined is whether the upper C/A attaching points need to be relocated or not.

Actually, Ive just about given up on this. After doing some research, it appears as though the complete Corvette C4 front cross member and suspension would be easier to weld in-especially if you used a 4X4 frame.

I've done it, several others have or are doing it. Go check out FSC, there are threads on it. It's pretty doable.

On 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks does this spindle change alter the steering angles or cause any problems?

I completed this a year ago and have noted no problems at all. I was rebuilding front BJs and steering linkages anyway, so now it's really driving like a brand new truck..except it stops now! I went with 14.5 inch rotors for my 18" wheels

Im coming from the 2wd side, and have a couple new ideas Im working on. Somewhat like what the S10 and G-body guys have been doing for a while now.

Coveman,
Did you have any issues when having the truck aligned? Did you do the NBS master cylinder also? Thanks for the info.
