Need some help and guidance here, as my 1957 3100 truck is sitting on jack stands at a buddy's house right now since the conversion of to front 6 bolt disc brakes seems to have hit a snag...
I have purchased the brakets from Buffalo and assume that the calipers mount to the rear of center of the wheel? There are not any real instructions, but it looks like this will place the caliper in a better cross car position than having them forward. Undfortunately this is not the big issue...
The big issue is that the calipers with pads will not fit over the rotors, all of which from NAPA are supposedly for a 1977 K5 Blazer. For whatever reason the rotors are mic'd at about 1.310" and the opening in the pads at full compression is 1.10", Is it possible I have the wrong parts? I hope I do not have the wrong year of parts.... we already mounted the hubs to these rotors.
Thoughts?
