Default 05 brakes on an 01 gmc

Alright I got turned on to this a few weeks ago. when I first started I had bought the wrong calipers so what you will need for this is.


front rotors
front calipers
brake pads
all from a 2005 1500 truck with drum brake back brakes that is the difference.
after you get done you will have 13inch rotors instead of 12 and right now I have about 230 dollars it in. I will have pics up in a few days


Sorry it took so long, but let me tell you it made a world of difference

I thought the only difference was the caliper brackets and rotor diameter?

so do you need the caliper brackets?

I just bought rotors, pads, and the caliper. I don't know if I need the 05+ brackets

What is PBR besides the initials of an old beer company?
