THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS WE LIKE ABOUT VINTAGE TRUCKS: TIMELESS STYLING, MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY AND MYSTIC NOSTALGIA--BUT BRAKING PERFORMANCE ISN’T ONE OF THEM. Though they were fine for country road speeds and farm truck utility, the binders on these old trucks don’t meet the expectations of today’s enthusiasts.
Luckily for us, Wilwood Engineering offers complete, high-end braking options for historic trucks. After discussing our goals with the company, Wilwood experts recommended their 2.5-inch drop ProSpindles (P/N 831-14202), AERO6 Big Brake front kit (P/N 140-15305) and AERO4 Big Brake rear kit (P/N 140-10941) for our 1977 C-10 pickup. Besides giving us upgraded braking ability, the Big Brake kits fill our 20-inch wheel package nicely.
