I would just like to add this for the people, Drain your rear end, its most likely NEVER been opened since you've owned your truck, and i'm sure your axle seals and bearings are in need of service. Most people who decide on these conversions have over 100k on them so just service your rear end and replace the worn parts its only an extra 100 bucks for bearings, seals, and oil.... You can tear it apart once to do it or do it twice when you have to replace your seals and bearings, the choice is yours to make.... One last thing, any brake fluid that spills, CLEAN IT UP, it will lift any paint it comes in contact with.. Excellent video my friend, you include everything unlike many other videos that leave out critical steps and things..
Getting ready to install the same kit this weekend along with some drop spindles. Really excited to finally have some good brakes. Yes it was expensive but Worth it for the quality parts.
Just bought this setup before I saw this. Put 373s with a limited slip and flexalite fan kit. Next is the built LS and new transmission. Can't wait. Thanks for the awesome video.
Thank you for this, my boy bought his very 1st vehicle at a car auction this past weekend..1996 GMC 1500 2wd long bed. We are going to do this and came across your video..subscribed...notifications on full tilt..thank you and rock on!
Just wanted to let you know that this was an amazing kit I picked up the front and the rear was very easy to install upgraded to a new master cylinder bigger bottom bigger cylinder and now my brake cylinder holes a whole bottle of brake fluid big one brakes stop on point amazing with the pedal as well thank you so much Pj used your video to begin and end the job💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🇵🇷
@@TWAMotorsports Pipo Like You de aceite Tyme de Møme show Ghost Made My Life Is The Very Happy and I will recommend this kid on my page for sure thank you so much and have a wonderful night
Just got this set up. I did the LS swap and rear end first. No I need to stop this monster. Thanks brother I’m going to tackle this job myself the next clean days
Awesome Travis the only thing I heard u say that she was going to press on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal, i changed the M/C with a new combination valve but had to change the brake fittings to fit the combination valve thanks for your video.
I use a wide variety of ball ping hammers that I got from my granddad. He was turning wrenches when Henry ford came up with the assembly line. Good enough for him good enough for me. But yeah I have new stuff too but love using his old tools when I can.
I bought a 97 swb a couple weeks ago to flip it but I'm going to keep it. Fell in love with it after driving it to work. Fixing the AC first then adding cruise next. After that will be lowering kit, brakes and wheels and tires. This kit looks awesome so I will be using it. After that work is done ill be doing a frame up build on my 65 swb. Ill probably be using this stuff on it. Thanks for the vids.
i have a 97 cheyenne extended cab an looking at doing this same brake build conversion very informative the way you did it i plan to pass this truck on to my three kids an i want them safe this is exactly what i needed
Been studying & searching, searching & studying... finally, your video popped up!! My patience has been rewarded! Thank u sir! My '93 silverado has this kit on the way!! Cheers & subbed 🔥🔥
@@TWAMotorsports I wouldn't give up a limb,.... Think I'd spare a finger though, impossible to come by around here/not alot of people into them, but I've always thought they looked great
Looking to do this on my 2 door Tahoe. Should be the same. I saw OBS Performance do the rear kit and NBS master cylinder on their Tahoe. Thanks for all your videos. I miss your 2 door Tahoe, but the truck is nice too!
i amin australia with a worn out C1500 GMC sierra,, it can get better. any upgrades much appreciated, mine has all brand new brakes and to be honest its dangerous as is.. steve in Australia
That larger Master Cylinder with a bore of 1.338" would make these brakes stop on a dime !!! So much larger than the standard 1.125 that came on original. great looking upgrade on an awesome truck. Great looking kit.
Good video. The easier and cleaner was I bench bleed is to bolt the master cylinder to the truck and cut the ends of the plastic piece that comes with it and get some plastic pipe that goes in the master cylinder with fluid in it to see and bubbles. It’s almost like a 1 man bleeder.
Wish it was a 2 door 4x4 Tahoe that you did a video on, that's the one I will be doing next week. With Little Shop rear disc kit, the later model master cylinder, 3/4 ton front calipers and drilled and slotted front rotors too. Wish me luck. lol
Nice looking stuff. Very detailed thanks, ur a intelligent guy now i want a OBS shortbed Lol. I only found one very clean couple months ago but couldn't get a hold of the owner
It's easier if you loosen the adjusters before you start beating on the drum. Rusted metal generally relies on vibration from the hammer strike to break free. The shoes against the drum diminishes the vibration so you have to beat it more.
you have NO ACCESS to the adjusters at all on these models you have no choice but to beat them off, one of Chevy's better engineering ideas, i mean mistakes.... You'd have to bore a 1/2 inch hole through the drum and axle flange to even see the adjusters. i have a 98 silverado and i found that if i taper the first 1/4 inch of my drum they will always slide off, its the grooved lip the shoes cause that binds the drums on. i'm going to do this conversion soon on mine.
Great build, I am going to look into the kits for my 97 two-door. I asked a Willwood rep who had the best kits and he said Little shop Mfg. thanks, Travis. I see you got your pellet gun ready for the Zombie invasion. 😁
@@TWAMotorsports isn't hard the big oofta is that it uses a k 1500 non f44 front caliper which means no ebrake. I feel there's other options out there. For example the rx8 rear caliper is only a touch smaller and has a built in caliper and they can fit 15s in the back just gotta get the right sized rotor. Maybe they'll notice this conversion and look into it.
Maaaaaan. Trav you killed it again son! Night and day difference looks quality and how they perform. Bad ass brake kit. Great video. Keep it up 🤙 Hey I saw a lil TA in the background that’s been getting a lil love...
A great mod that is not well known for the lowered OBS TRUCKS is the Belltech #6658 UPPER shock relocator for the rear shocks. Please do a video on this mod to get the word out. These OBS trucks have terrible rear shock angles. And even worse when lowered. That would be a good time to notch the bed brace that’s directly above the center section of the rearend. Love your videos.
First of all, this was an awesome video and very informative. 👍👏👏👏 I'm about to pull the trigger on the same thing myself. But I had to go on and do my front brakes, because the right caliper was sticking. So I changed them and the rotors. I watched another guy who cut off the backing plate on the rear, because he didn't want to pull the axels. I want to do a posi on mine....soooo🤷♂️ I thought about going bigger calipers, but I'd like to put my 15x10s back on. Changing the calipers will more than likely have me not being able to put the factory wheels back on. Anyway great video again, and I subbed..👍
Good kit, anyone else beware that if you do one side at a time and check if your ebrake is engaging and it’s not just do the other side then check again because I pulled all the slack out of one side until it engaged fully and then couldn’t get the other side cable to reach, had to undo it and struggle for an hour to get them even again.
I have this exact same setup on my OBS but I also have the Chevy 2500HD Dual Diaphram Booster and Bypassed ABS Box.Incase anyone wants to piece the rear disc conversion together themselves front calipers are from a OBS 2500HD.Rears are from a 1995 Chevy S10 and Rotors from a 1995 Impala.
Looks like a great upgrade. I’m considering this for my 98 K1500 Burb. That said, I have to comment on the sloppy steering and off-center steering wheel. Oh MAN that makes me crazy! Check your pitman arm for wear, and have the steering gear adjustment carefully set IF that’s part of the issue. That’ll make you think you have a new truck too! 👌🏻
i did new gear box, pitpamn/idler arm, all new tie rods, bearings,didnt help, after I changed my upper/lower control arms, new ball joints so now its 100% new and my steering it lose but no more than like an inch, which i can deal with since its a lot better than the 5-6 inch travel i used to have, Only thing i didnt change was the rag joint since it looks Ok but i will do that next, since other than that, I wouldnt know what else to do, I know it will never be like my 2016 Impala but I'd like it new as possible
Will this fit for a 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500 can you send me the link to where you bought your stuff? Also, the name of the items you purchased looks pretty cool. Thank you like the video by the way
Ok I have being seeing good comments about this brake kit but I am not sure I had installed this kit for my 96 obs and I had bleed the brakes replaced brake reservoir and having my brake pedal going all the way to the bottom it brakes but not like before with drum brakes
I did a bunch of research into swapping my 94 Step side, LS swapped, silverado, over to big brakes.. After looking at all the kits, and feeling frustrated, I built my own.. I bought Camaro SS Brembo 4 piston front calipers off of Ebay. Then I bought NEW from O'Reilly auto parts some 14.9" rotors from a Grand Cherokee.. all in-parts were less than $500.00 The calipers say Brembo-Chevrolet in red.. The truck absolutely STOPS now when I step on the brake pedal. I now need to move on to the rear, and again I will be using the Brembo calipers off the rear of a Camaro SS.. Not sure what size rotor I will be using on the rear yet.. but I've got time to figure that out...
This is exactly what I was looking at doing.. one question.. did your truck have the factory 1” rotor or 1.25”… I noticed they dont have upgraded calipers for the 1.0”.. I haven’t measured mine yet but I read the 1.0 was more common for standard cabs…
good job! thank you for explaining the ebrake as well. One question, you said go to box store to buy replacement brake pads for rear? What style caliper are they? What gm car/truck are they from to reference? Thanks!
@michaelblackwell4686 what parts are you using for the front end rebuild? I have a 95 Z71 K1500 as well. I've been looking at the Kryptonite Products tie rods, ball joints, pitman arm, and center link. All their parts carry a lifetime warranty and they pretty much dare you to break them(these things are massive, 1⅝" hexagon solid center link!!)
Are the red calipers the original factory caliper style, but just power coated? Also, are the rotors the same factory diameter? Great video, makes me want to change my master cylinder!
Like Your Conversion, My Question Is The Front Disc is de Same Diameter than the Old Ones ? And Now the four Of them are the same Diameter Or ? Hope You can Tell Me I would love to Do it On My Truck
actually got the kit and fixing to put it on today, question is though since my trucks getting painted and can't really break in the brakes, could i break in the brakes afterwards?
I need help guys I have a 91 Chevy Silverado with a 305 two-wheel drive I got discount front drums in the back and I want to do a conversion like this I have 15 inch rims now I know I'm probably going to have to go to what a 17-inch rim?
Bad ass video man. Obs trucks are here to stay forever. I have to ask about how many hours you think a shop would charge me for this exact same kit? Thanks brother
Loved your video! I have a '13 Silverado and have been researching the rear conversion for a couple of months and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on this mod. I've been thinking of using ceramic pads to cut down on brake dust. What are your thoughts on that since you did this a couple of years ago? Also, are you still happy with the rear discs?
I was wondering why you pulled the axles out. Seems like most kits are designed around that. There are a few kits for gmt400. This is the one I was looking at buying.
The world just got a little more exciting! OBS content is ALWAYS the way to go
Thank you. This thing stops amazing now
I think everyone know the feeling I’m going through rn, 19 working saving up for my first truck watching all these videos for future ideas but man is it exciting having money saved looking forward to those trips with my dog
I understand that completely
I would just like to add this for the people, Drain your rear end, its most likely NEVER been opened since you've owned your truck, and i'm sure your axle seals and bearings are in need of service. Most people who decide on these conversions have over 100k on them so just service your rear end and replace the worn parts its only an extra 100 bucks for bearings, seals, and oil.... You can tear it apart once to do it or do it twice when you have to replace your seals and bearings, the choice is yours to make....
One last thing, any brake fluid that spills, CLEAN IT UP, it will lift any paint it comes in contact with..
Excellent video my friend, you include everything unlike many other videos that leave out critical steps and things..
Thank you. I agree on the rear end draining
This is probably the best video I've watched for my truck and it's not even an oem job good job mate well appreciated

I just installed my kit front and rear with new master and braided cables. I put drop spindles on it. I have a 1994 gmc
Very nice
Looks like a great upgrade. I’m considering this for my 98 K1500 Burb.
That said, I have to comment on the sloppy steering and off-center steering wheel. Oh MAN that makes me crazy! Check your pitman arm for wear, and have the steering gear adjustment carefully set IF that’s part of the issue. That’ll make you think you have a new truck too! 👌🏻
Thank you. Its a great kit and people to deal with
i did new gear box, pitpamn/idler arm, all new tie rods, bearings,didnt help, after I changed my upper/lower control arms, new ball joints so now its 100% new and my steering it lose but no more than like an inch, which i can deal with since its a lot better than the 5-6 inch travel i used to have, Only thing i didnt change was the rag joint since it looks Ok but i will do that next, since other than that, I wouldnt know what else to do, I know it will never be like my 2016 Impala but I'd like it new as possible
Will never be a rack and pinion unfortunately
😳😳😳
Cannot wait to watch this one. Hopefully it’s something I can do
You can.
Hey Travis I just discovered your videos I subscribed and just love when you work on that OBS truck I have one also👍
Thank you
Will this fit for a 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500 can you send me the link to where you bought your stuff? Also, the name of the items you purchased looks pretty cool. Thank you like the video by the way
All links are in video description. Give little shop manufacturing a call
I gotta do this to mine, nice video thanks man
Thank you
You didn’t have to take off the long bolt that’s why your breaks are falling 😂 but you got me searching already doing the conversion on mine 😎
It definitely looks and brakes better
Man great kit can’t wait to do the rear and master🤙🏽
Thank you. You will love it
Ok I have being seeing good comments about this brake kit but I am not sure I had installed this kit for my 96 obs and I had bleed the brakes replaced brake reservoir and having my brake pedal going all the way to the bottom it brakes but not like before with drum brakes
That's weird. No issues here
Very nice truck
Thank you
just bought the kit for my suburban
Awesome. You will love it.
I did a bunch of research into swapping my 94 Step side, LS swapped, silverado, over to big brakes.. After looking at all the kits, and feeling frustrated, I built my own.. I bought Camaro SS Brembo 4 piston front calipers off of Ebay. Then I bought NEW from O'Reilly auto parts some 14.9" rotors from a Grand Cherokee.. all in-parts were less than $500.00 The calipers say Brembo-Chevrolet in red.. The truck absolutely STOPS now when I step on the brake pedal. I now need to move on to the rear, and again I will be using the Brembo calipers off the rear of a Camaro SS.. Not sure what size rotor I will be using on the rear yet.. but I've got time to figure that out...
I would be interested in seeing pictures of that. Email me. Twamotorsports at hotmail
Thanks for the info and i just put my order in
Awesome. Its great stuff
This is exactly what I was looking at doing.. one question.. did your truck have the factory 1” rotor or 1.25”… I noticed they dont have upgraded calipers for the 1.0”.. I haven’t measured mine yet but I read the 1.0 was more common for standard cabs…
1.25 factory
@@TWAMotorsports ok, guess I’m gonna have to measure mine.. I would guess all the 5.7 trucks had the larger brakes though
92 and up I believe
good job! thank you for explaining the ebrake as well. One question, you said go to box store to buy replacement brake pads for rear? What style caliper are they? What gm car/truck are they from to reference? Thanks!
I think a mustang lol. Ask little shop because I totally forgot
you can bench bleed it on the truck,pretty ez,just pump the peddle,ad some grease inside master and pin also.
I was thinking about that after the fact
Can I use those products you have to be able to swap my 4 drum brakes to 4 disc brakes
Doubtful
Nice brake set up
Thank you
hmmm... I need to see if little shop wanna send me a kit, lmao. Great video!
Lol. Thank you
Great video my man. Very informative. First time coming across you. Definitely subbed. Looking forward to more OBS love! -95 k1500 starcraft edition
Thank you very much. Lots more to come
I’m wanting to do this to my 95 k1500 z71 since I’m rebuilding the front end soon so that be nice and put the braided lines in.
They make great stuff
@michaelblackwell4686 what parts are you using for the front end rebuild? I have a 95 Z71 K1500 as well. I've been looking at the Kryptonite Products tie rods, ball joints, pitman arm, and center link. All their parts carry a lifetime warranty and they pretty much dare you to break them(these things are massive, 1⅝" hexagon solid center link!!)
I’m using Detroit axle stuff and when I get the money I’m get some other stuff
Congratulations on the sponsor 👍🏼
Thank you. Great kit that I was looking to buy before the sponsorship
They are a great company im actually getting my Wilwood 16” conversion kit from them, 😁 Keep up the great content Travis. 💪🏽
Thank you
I have been fighting this dam kit for hrs trying to get the dam air out
It takes some time
@@TWAMotorsports I’m going to try again tomorrow. What a nightmare tho Definitely could have thought the caliper design thru a little more
@Slowjoe419 I had to swing mine up to bleed
@@TWAMotorsports yeah that’s where I’m at now is the caliper is on top the rotor. May go buy a vacuum brake bleeder.
@Slowjoe419 they specifically told me not to use my vacuum bleeder
Are the red calipers the original factory caliper style, but just power coated? Also, are the rotors the same factory diameter? Great video, makes me want to change my master cylinder!
Not sure on sizes. Caliper piston is bigger and I believe the rotor is thicker
I think if if I was going that far I would have replaced the rear bearings and seals also. Just thinking forward.
Plan to do that down the road
Like Your Conversion, My Question Is The Front Disc is de Same Diameter than the Old Ones ? And Now the four Of them are the same Diameter Or ? Hope You can Tell Me I would love to Do it On My Truck
Fronts are thicker but I believe the same size. If I remember correctly the rears are a little smaller. Call little shop and they can help you out
Great video, can you use the factory replacement brake pads in the future?
You can
When you go to autozone which make and model do the rear pads come from?
I thought mustang but they should be able to answer that
Went to their site... all I'm seeing is rear disc brakes. Haven't seen an option to do all 4. Please advise if I'm doing something wrong.
Call them.
That undercarriage is cleaner then most nbs trucks lol
Lol. I think it looks terrible
Noticed you used dot 4 brake fluid. Should it not have been dot 3?
Can take either
actually got the kit and fixing to put it on today, question is though since my trucks getting painted and can't really break in the brakes, could i break in the brakes afterwards?
You could
Just finished mine. Kinda figured pads would be a little better for the $$$ lot of brake dust.
I haven't notice but tore apart soon after for repaint
@@TWAMotorsports Thanks for the video and discount code!
You're welcome. Hopefully it helps
The anti lock system is the whole problem 😊
Hey sir good job on the upgrade … but where do I get the rear stainless line that sits on top of the diff that goes to the hardline on the rear
Comes with the kit
I need help guys I have a 91 Chevy Silverado with a 305 two-wheel drive I got discount front drums in the back and I want to do a conversion like this I have 15 inch rims now I know I'm probably going to have to go to what a 17-inch rim?
Call little shop manufacturing
Bad ass video man. Obs trucks are here to stay forever. I have to ask about how many hours you think a shop would charge me for this exact same kit? Thanks brother
Not sure on shop charge. Could be completed in 1 day easily
@@TWAMotorsports thanks man. Can’t wait on another video. Maybe putting on a manual 6 speed?
No manual but eventually we will tear into it again
Wonder what the cost would be if you take it to a shop and have them do all the work?$$$
Not sure
Loved your video! I have a '13 Silverado and have been researching the rear conversion for a couple of months and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on this mod. I've been thinking of using ceramic pads to cut down on brake dust. What are your thoughts on that since you did this a couple of years ago? Also, are you still happy with the rear discs?
Truck hasn't really been on the road but seem to be good. Ceramic is great for low dust
@@TWAMotorsports Thanks! I'll add to the comments when I get this done...I work very slow, but I'm old and fat...hahaha!
Lol
I was wondering why you pulled the axles out. Seems like most kits are designed around that. There are a few kits for gmt400. This is the one I was looking at buying.
Dont have to but have to cut if not.
Idk why but pulling axles intimidates me . I shy away from anything axle related other than fluid changes.
You can cut then. It isn't hard. Just a few more steps
