Default Re: Front brakes 65 -70 Chevrolet full size

Hi Paul. I swapped in a complete ‘70 Impala front disc brake setup with the single piston calliper on my ‘65 Impala for everyday street driving years ago. It’s a direct bolt in. It made a huge difference in braking control over the darty drum brakes.

If you are looking for a light weight race set up, Mark Williams should be able to help you. The spindles are essentially the same as a C 2 and C 3 Corvette. ‘68 and earlier use the smaller drum brake bearings, so you can use your ‘65 spindles. They don’t list the early, small bearing Corvette brakes in their catalog but they have everything to make up a kit. The Corvette parts will physically fit, but confirm with them that their brakes will work for the weight and application you have planned. The MW kit may also require machining the anchor bolt boss. They can do that for you.
