Brake calipers from a 98-02 F-body?
« on: June 06, 2010, 07:43:32 pm »
I have a buddy who is going to give me a set of front brake calipers from a 98-02 trans am if they will work for my truck. Im new to the truck thing but my 83 C10 has factory front disc brakes. Is it possible to install the f-body calipers onto the 83 C10?

And why would you want to put calipers rated for 1/2 the weight of these trucks on them anyway?

New calipers at autozone are like 20 bucks for a pair.
