I have a set of black '96 Corvette Grand Sport wheels sitting in my workshop, and they would look really sharp on my white '89 Stepside.
I do not want to use adapters, and I do not want to buy somebody's $500 kit. I want to use OEM parts swapping as much as possible.
For the fronts it looks like I can use '89 Camaro 1LE rotors. They're a one-piece hub and rotor, they use the same wheel bearings, and they're about the same size as the truck rotor. I don't know if the depth is the same.

For the rears, I am willing to have the axles redrilled, but what drums would I use?
The truck has a 10" drum.
Camaros, G-bodies, and S10s have a 9.5" drum.
B-body Caprices and Impalas have either a 9.5 or 11" drum.
Will the 11" Caprice/Impala backing plates and brake assemblies bolt onto the truck axle?
EDIT: Doh! 11" drums are 5x5.
Anybody have an experience at this, or know of a thread that covers this?
