okay.. I wanna get my 64's brakes up to snuff.

it's a 64 F100 with a mid 70's olds wagon front clip. so it's already got decent front disc's. I'm upgrading the rear to 11inch discs. I'm looking for a 12.5-13 inch front disc .. chev 5bolt pattern .. and atleast a nice 2 piston caliper

I'm going from my 15inch Boyds to a set of 17inch soft 10 hole steel rims. so fitting most OEM rotors and discs should be doable

I was thinking Corvette.. and I'm pretty sure the rotors will fit the hubs, I know I'll have to make brackets to adapt which ever caliper to my spindles.. but I dunno the specs of the vette brakes (aka each quirk per year, model package .. etc etc) ... I also don't wanna go nuts and spend 3 grand on brand new Z06 parts


suggestions? ideas?... I guess I'll need to run the Vette M/C too .. I THINK the one in the truck right now is the Olds .. but I dunno.
