rear disc brakes on a 2wd

[e3mcgrath]

can anyone tell me if a disc brake setup from a 9c1 caprice or impala ss will bolt up? saw a couple at the jyard and it got me thinking.

The part's may bolt up, but the impala and caprice use 1/2 in. wheel stud's and our body style tuck's use 5/8's stud's so at very least you will have to enlarge the holes in the brake rotor, I am also running rear impala SS rotor's that I enlarged the holes on.

i'm gonna do some measuring tomorrow and what i can come up with. what brackets did you use? speedway?

No there was a guy on ebay that had an ebay store and he sold bracket's and braided lines everything to do the swap. I am using his bracket's and braided lines with front s-10 brake caliper's and impala ss drilled and slotted rotor's. I have 400$ in the whole thing. Well worth the money and man does it stop good!

Can you use the brackets from the Impala?

I don't know, I have never tried, they might work.

I don't have easy access to mine right now or I would get you some measurements.

no problem, thanks tho. i'll get to mine eventually, just between finishing putting a motor in my gf's bravada and trying to get some things done to my truck for Slamology this weekend, i haven't had much free time
