This product is a comprehensive assembly of components designed to upgrade the braking system of General Motors C10 trucks manufactured between 1973 and 1987. It typically includes new brake rotors, calipers, mounting brackets, hoses, and sometimes a master cylinder, effectively replacing the original drum brake system with a more efficient disc brake system.
The implementation of this upgrade offers significant advantages in terms of stopping power, reliability, and safety. Disc brakes provide superior heat dissipation compared to drum brakes, reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy use. The upgrade also improves overall vehicle control and responsiveness. Historically, many older trucks were equipped with drum brakes, and this conversion represents a modern improvement for enhanced performance.
