okay i got this is for the basic set up which would bolt on to the rear

Part Number 2160C $259.95 pair

Part No. DS Dimpled & Slotted Rotors additional $79.95 pair Slotted Rotor PhotoPart No. 3100 New (Not Rebuilt) Calipers without parking brakes $120.00 pairPart No. 3110 New (Not Rebuilt) Calipers with parking brakes $300.00 pair Part No. 3111 Short Cable Extensions $20.00 pairPart No. 3700 Rubber hose 9 1/2" $50.00 pair-OR-Part No. 3702-8 Braided Stainless hose 8" $50.00 pair


okay so i would get the Dimpled and slotted rotors, Calipers with Parking brakes, Short Cable Extension, and braided stainless steel hose. so that would make

$260
$80
$300
$20
$50

so for 670 bucks i could get the parts and i figure with more brake fluid that i'll need and install it'll be what around 1200? not bad!

FYI, if you look through their site a bit you can find out what callipers they're actually using. it appears to be 85 cadillac eldorado rears which are $81=$30core over on rock auto, so if you buy them from rock you'd save about 80 bucks off the parking brake equipped set they have for 300...

On Trucks, ABS designates Rear wheel ABS. Front Wheel is designated as 4-wheel ABS.

So if you have any kind of ABS system it definitely includes rear wheel.

I would stay away away from the Caddy calipers, they were known for issues, like seizing up, and parking brake seizing up.

this may be done very cheap, from the looks of it, its basically the exact same setup i built for my 75, which i was able to do for the price of new pads, but i had all the rest of the parts laying around,

for calipers,(and pads) they are going to be a GM style, you can find on the front of just about any chevy truck, i used the chevy front brake hoses(perfect and cheap) the roters will probably be stock either from a dak,ram,or f150 (just need to find out what they used), then its just the matter of the brackets, which would probably be worth buying, as they are kind of a pita to build, if they sell them seperatly
