s10 calipers on stock rotors? I need some caliper brackets, my customers truck had big *** 6 piston caliper wilwood kit on it previously.

slowswb, I should have them done by next week... I am busy making the front coil over shock mounts right now. The brand new hubs just came in, so I am going to have my machinist knock them out.

Ok, a little update.. We've been swamped and I started getting the turbo kit built instead on this truck.
I have a set of brand new hubs, we are going to have the hubs done tomorrow finally.. I got my hands on some stock caliper brackets, my question is what year S10 calipers do I need?

this is the write-up re-use the OEM studs if you can. i'm jellous of you guys that have the tools to do things like this. i paid someone to re-drill the axles on my s10 and they did it wrong.

i wanted more info on the front hubs, the rear axles are pretty simple but the front seems more complicated. if there any clearance issues with the front brakes with a 15'' wheel?

My front hubs and rotors should be for sale soon. They were done by Moser and have less than 100 miles on them. Screw in studs. Wonder what I could get for them?
