Sky has designed a simple disk brake bracket that allows the end user to install vented disk brakes on their Corporate 14 Bolt SRW rear axle. Brackets are sold in pairs!
You will need to supply rotors, calipers, and brake lines and will need calipers from a 73+ Chevy 3/4 ton, and rotors from a 4wd 73+ Chevy truck. The caliper from Raybestos is FRC4072 and 4071. The rotor is Raybestos 5014R. The options for simple brake lines are to reuse the factory metal hard line and the new caliper soft line, loop the metal, connect the 2. These brackets will fit a 15" rim with 3.5" or less backspacing, with minor grinding to the caliper.
This kit is compatible with Corporate 14 bolt axles with studs that press through the drum, not slide on drum axles or 6 - 8 lug semi floating axles. It is typically suitable for 73-87 trucks with 8 lug axles, but there may be some exceptions, such as 86-87 models with slip on drum axles. Please verify your specific axle before installation, as it is not compatible with dually DRW axles.
Sky's is the first company that has eliminated the spacer design of disk brake brackets, as this design has failed under extreme braking due to extra force put on the bolts through the use of spacers. With our new design, you can even reuse your stock bolts, although we include new ones for safety and ease of installation.
Many people have asked about the forming process of our brackets. CNC forming these brackets allows us to hold a .006 tolerance, much more precise than the axle housing flange on the Corp 14 bolt axle. The floating caliper that is used allows about .090 of movement.
These brackets are hands down the cleanest and most precise on the market, rivaling even expensive billet machined versions. With over 2100 sets sold, not a single problem has been reported due to bracket formation. While other companies offer formed brackets, their tolerances aren't even close to ours, making our price even more impressive!
