NBS Front Brake Swap for OBS Trucks

[Helomedic1171]

I hope not! It's brakes. Do it right.

My fitting is a 3/8-24. I took the old GMT400 hose as well as the new GMT800 with me to verify. Mine thread on and off just fine. With everything connected, no leaks.

I made a list with the parts I figured are needed.
Can someone confirm the parts?
Any help and or advice appreciated.

Parts mostly look right to me except I didn't used lower arms meant for Mexican-market trucks. I used ones from a 2000 GMT800 2500. I'll dig out the part numbers in a sec.

Also, I used Mevotech bearings. They come with the bolts already so you save money there. They also have the hub surfaces coated for corrosion protection.

I didn't because I know the GMT900 brakes work. Once I have proof of concept, then I can get wilder with it. Also, I would have to run spacers or get new wheels, and I just don't want to do either. I may swap in the future, but not right now.

How about the alignment?

Aligned just fine. Here's the spec sheet.
