I know I should of replaced the studs prior to making video. That being said, the stud that come with the rotors are 14m x14.5 so you will need to replace them with 1972 c10 disc brake stud. 1/2 threads
Beautiful car....my mom bought a 69 Riv new off the showroom floor, and gave it to me last summer. I'm going to be doing a disk conversion this spring as soon as the snow melts. I noticed you mention you had not done the rear yet; as I responded to someone below, the rear OEM 10 bolt *should* accept most any other 10 bolt disk conversion for when you get to that point. Question...why wouldn't 95 Check 1/2 ton calipers work? Confused why you had to go with Astrovan calipers.
Thanks for the info I got the information as to what parts work on Scarebirds web site. It did say 4 w drive only ASTRO van calipers, the disc pads are a 1/2 truck part number
@@realsteelmotorcars2894 Just interesting on the astrovan calipers...Scarebird was on my list to contact and came across your video in my searching for more info.
Nice !!! Thanks I might be able to make this shit happen I was pricing kits online the want close to 1300 my only other question is did u have to fabricate anything ?
@@bolobrown814 only thing that is not plug and play is the stock wheels gave a smaller hub size if you want to run stock hub caps You would need Truck 15" Wheels 5 on 5 bolt pattern
Most GM 10 and 12 bolt rear ends *should be* interchangeable...for the most part...so disk brake conversions for those axles *should* work. I'm doing the same kind of conversion on my mom's (now mine) 69 Riv that she bought off the showroom floor in 69.

So you don’t need a hub bearing on the front or do the studs go straight into the rotor
