read about it online... theres one done on a 67 f100,  y not put it on a c10!
I had to narrow it 5" to fit the Chevy frame.. I got it off a 2010 crown Vic hwy patrol car.  375 complete.... they pulled it off!  Now you could buy an aftermarket for 1500-3000 but why?

I don't see the point, the factory rotors are 11.88" what is the extra .12" going to get you?  And if you want bigger, why not go aftermarket with 13's and multi piston?

couple thousand dollars vs 375, rotors are 12" and it does have dual pistons calipers,  also strut coil overs with rack...o, and its aluminum, not to mention its a 5" drop just bolting it on!! All you do is narrow it 5" and put a 94 mustang rack  ($52 dollars @ autozone) on it and your good to go!!
