The parts are:
- 1985 Monte Carlo front brake calipers
- 1985 Monte Carlo front brake pads
- 1990 Chevy K1500 regular cab front brake rotors
- A&A Manufacturing Caliper brackets # AA - 113
The Monte Carlo Calipers use the same banjo fitting as our trucks as well, sorry I don't have all of the part numbers, but I'm sure you can get that stuff at almost any local parts store.

If I remamber correctly a friend of mine said he uses Monte Carlo brake calipers on his dirt track car.

Yes most of the cars that use the front clip of a GM car will have the same basic calipers on a dirt track car, I was on a pit crew for a dirt track team for 2 years.

Maybe stupid questions but, Why the 1990 k1500 brake rotors? Will my 03 rotors work? Sorry for all the questions.

Good info! Does this A&A caliper bracket bolt to the factory truck backing plate?
