I found a set of calipers off a 1977 Cadilac at the wrecking yard. These are unique because they have an e-brake built into the caliper and fit the stock chevy rotors.makovai's 1972 Chevrolet Blazermakovai's 1972 Chevrolet Blazer

3/4 ton conversion is complete 11/25/06

update: 12-10-06 - I had to replace the front 6" springs and 0 rates with new 8" skyjackers as the cross steer was hitting the lifted springs.

The best conversion of all. A new 8' door so i cant get the beast in the garage.
