disc brakes on pre-70 G-20

i was cruising rockauto.com and found a listing in thier setup for wheel bearings for 1969 G20 van that used disc front brakes.

is this true? where can i get a set of OEM spindles and hardware! =)

i would have to say it's a listing error
and believe you'll find the kit they may be offering is for a 71 and up as Doni said

we have the only PROVEN disk brake conversion kits that are out here
for 64-70 G-10's
(g-20's however i did hear there is a truck application that will bolt to those
6 lug spindles )
3 sets remaining of ours if your interested and have a G-10 send me a message soon

64-70 G20's had six-lug axles? Interesting.

Nate that would be 67 -70 G-20s had 6 lugs I think all they made were 1/2 ton from 64 -66.

The largest brakes on an A-100 were 11x2.75 on the front and 10x2.5 on the back. I have added 11x2.5 on the rears of A-vans using C-body Mopar car (Monaco, Newport, etc) parts.

There see? I gummed up the Chevy section with Dodge information.

Gman,

I'm looking for a front drum for my 69 G20, is there an interchange? I haven't looked yet, thought you might know though.

Thanks,
Rip

Raybestos #2058, used on various models from 1951-1971. I might actually have one here

Rip, I thought you said you scraped out a bunch of your projects. Looks like you keep the best ones Still got some really cool rides there

I don't think the drums for a 70 - 71 G20 are for our vans, 71 being the clue and the 3rd gens started in 70. About 8 years ago they were hard to find and I had to go to NAPA and special order them for $100 each. If some one knows for sure of a cheaper replacement it would be nice to know. I was able to order some ceramic type shoes. I might be able to fine the info on them if some one is interested.
When the the G20's brakes are in good shape I don't see the need for disc. If your passenger doesn't want to buckle up you can easily make them kiss the windshield.

Pics are a few years old, need to climb up there and take some new ones. You are right, we did scrap/sell about 40 vehicles since these were taken. Did save the best ones (except for the Jeep FC170's)

Carl, RockAuto listed those for about $100 each. They do not list a front drum for the 67-69 vans. I'll compare with another on the list that we have in the yard and let you know.

When I was getting the CA 68 G-20 back together,I checked ,you could get rear(S/O) but didn't have any listing for fronts??? Lukly they just need turned. Rip did you save the early sedan delrivers in the 1st pic, Is that a hease setting close to the Pacer??/ Theres a JY S of me thats got a bunch of Pacers

Saved all vans, deliveries, wagons, MG's, the Fiat and all trucks pre-1956. Kept 3 vw bugs (sold 9). Not a Hearse, just the angle of the pic, look at the other pic you will see just an ugly old Plymouth. Pacers and most Dauphines are gone. All shoebox sedans are still here as well as the 39 and 40 Chevy sedans.
More projects than we can complete in our lifetimes! When Dad realizes his capabilities or lack thereof some really nice projects will hit the market. He just doesn't have enough good days to spend in the shop. Getting old and disabled really sucks! Did anyone notice the mood swing halfway through my post? It's been a long week...

Tom, it's a Chrysler Town & Country. It'e been painted but the interior is original but in bad shape.
We did get some bad weather, thousands without power, we were unaffected here though. Twenty miles north there is no electricity. Sunny and 60* today!
