That frame looks sweet.What rotors and calipers are those?

The knuckles are from a 02 Chevy blazer 2 wheel drive. Calipers and rotors are from Rock Auto. Out of town for a few days will send cost when i get back home.

They are. Straight forward upgrade to this point. Had read on g-body forum about this upgrade. Like the two cylinder caliper and the ability to change rotor without pulling wheel bearings. Also all GM parts readily available.

Also changed rear wheel cylinders from stock 3/4 to 7/8. These are GM for a 85-86 S-10 standard brakes. Also put on the GM wheel cylinder bracket. This takes drilling a couple of 15/64 holes through the backing plate after marking and center punching hole location. Found drilling a 5/64 pilot hole first makes the 15/64 drill bit much easier to drill. See pic’s

The third bit is 1/4” to go through just the thin backing plate so bolt will tighten done correctly.

One last thing. Had to file the ears of the bracket (not to much) to make it fit properly around upper ears of wheel cylinder.
