Looks like you went with the 67 - 68 4 piston caliper swap.

Great upgrade.

Is that the 67-68 JL2 caliper or a C3 Vette? the carrier bracket certainly looks like C3.

And you know, the 4 piston caliper mounting brakets bolt right up to the rear-if it's a 12 bolt. Easy peasy swap.

if I lived on pavement maybe , but I have lots of gravel, already have two with rear disks that's enough, I was thinking larger drums though.

had to finish up on the brakes finally rears got a proportioning valve and a residual plus I had to reblead the fronts for some reason. the pedal is nice and firm now to work on her after the move so I can drive again001.jpg002.jpg
