Customer requested it 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I did. These calipers have bleed screws on both ends. So, you can orient them on either side.

The kit I used from Wildwood for the front: www.wilwood.com/brakekits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-10996-DR

The wheels on this car are 15" rally wheels. Thanks for the feedback!

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the feedback!

I did consider it, I actually went back and forth between borgeson and redhead. At the time, I liked the fact that borgeson had the quick ratio box designed specifically for the K10 (C10 and K10 steering gears are different). So, it was plug and play without having to change over to crossover steering. Can't remember if redhead has the same setup or not

Best thing to do would be to pull a measurement on your truck between front and rear wheels, and then search for a set of steps that fit into that dimension. The 2019 F150 crew cab steps had to be cut down on this truck, so would likely work on the K20

@@midatlanticcustoms ok

What did you not like about them?

@@midatlanticcustoms the front seat on the driver side keeps coming up and the console doesn’t tuck under and stay when you lift up the console the piece comes out

@@samuelshears8633 I thankfully haven't had issues with the driver seat, but I agree on the console. It's frustrating

Thank you for the feedback! On some of the early A-body cars you will have some interference issues, so calipers will need to be installed on one side. On this car there was no problem on either side,, so just decided to install on the front. Install should be identical on rear of spindle. As far as the gasket goes, I'm pretty sure it isn't necessary. I don't remember installing one, but it has been a while since we did this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! You lucked out not having to worry about the DFM!

How did you find this out??

Website is: clazzio.com

Thanks for the feedback! I personally would...but I don't have any experience with how GM dealers might react to this. My biggest concern would be, GM says you're altering the logic for how the engine is designed to operate and they void the warranty on the truck if you have issues. You could probably mount this in an inconspicuous location, and then just disconnect whenever you're having service done / reconnect afterward. But, maybe others have had different experiences.

@@midatlanticcustoms great point. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! The seat is one I swapped out of a F250 super duty. I have a video on the install: ruclips.net/video/5gfSLTfmx1E/видео.html

Thank you for the feedback, glad it was helpful!

We appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! eBay is a great source. A lot of salvage yards listing parts, a lot of times with free shipping.

Thank you for your help. This is what I was looking for. Great video.

@@gmanc1995 thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Glad it helped! Good luck!

Also will stock suspension work with this kit or did you have to Frankenstein a bunch of pieces together?

The suspension kit is from UMI. It is their GM A-body Stage 2 kit. Summit sells the spindles.

Yes, stock suspension will work with this kit.

Details on disc brake kit: www.wilwood.com/brakekits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-10996-DR We're using wilwood's master cylinder with this kit. You can check them out on their website above.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear it worked out for you!

This took about 3-4 hours total

Thank you for the feedback, glad it was helpful. Good luck with the gear swap!

Thanks !

Bushings were replaced on the truck a couple thousand miles ago. Didn't need replacement

Yupp, you sure can

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the feedback! Overall, this looks like a good plan. I believe the majority of the crossover steering kits I've seen require an aftermarket sway bar. If you go with ORDs crossover steering, you have to replace your stock swaybar for sure. Their aftermarket swaybar includes the disconnect kit with it, which is probably the best option. The custom leaf springs / leveling kit are pretty much one in the same. But, should greatly improve ride quality. If you're looking for the greatest improvement, ORD does make a front coilover conversion kit. But it's very expensive $$ and requires quite a bit of modification to work. Bilstein shocks are a great option. Hope this helps.

@@midatlanticcustoms I searched the coilover conversion but as you said they are too expensive and it requires a lot of modification. Thank you for your time.

Drilled through the frame. Grade 8 bolt, nut, flat washer and lock washer. You could orient the bolt either way. I believe I have threads pointing towards the inside of the frame rail. Hope this helps.

@@midatlanticcustoms thanks for the reply. Going to give this a shot on my 82 toyota pickup

Agreed, it's cheap junk. Gets brittle and falls apart over time. A pain to work with. I'm planning to re-do my engine bay at some point and update all of it.

Thanks! I really like it, it took a huge amount of the slop out compared to the old steering gear on the truck.

You're welcome!

I've debated going crossover, but I'm only running 2.5" of lift. Seems the benefits are limited for low lift trucks. The combination of all new suspension components, this steering gear and ORDs steering brace has drastically improved the steering on this truck. But, I'm always looking for additional ways to improve the trucks on road handling. Going through everything did take the majority of the slop out of the steering, but I do believe GMs original steering setup was a poor design that's tough to get perfect

@@midatlanticcustoms Yeah, I agree with tough to perfect. From everything I gather, even crossover will introduce different problems. In my head, the only solution would be a fully electric steering rack on diff, steer by wire. Probably years away from that being a thing since steer by wire is just starting on OEMs now. I think for my 4", I will try crossover steering. Many complain about bump steer with crossover, which is why I think you went the correct route for your lift. Some crossover guys add a track bar like a stock super duty. This limits travel and adds ride stiffness, but my springs are soft so hopefully not too much. The joys of trying to make old things drive like newer things.

The box itself won't increase turn radius, your steering geometry will not change.

@@midatlanticcustoms thank you for your response!

Thanks!!

This car is still going through restoration, so can't speak specifically to it. But, we have installed similar wilwood products on other A-body cars without issue.

Yupp, it should. Triggering ground to the purple wires on any amp module we've encountered has worked

Good note!

Thanks for the sub! 33" tires on a 2.5" lift.

This is definitely the front set. Wilwood produces these so you can mount them on either side of the spindle, depending on your set-up. We just mounted them on the fwd side vs the rear.

@@midatlanticcustoms thanks for the quick response! I'm helping a friend, just got the instructions, had him send me links to what he ordered so i can sort rear from front. noticed the front has smaller pads but four pistons but the rear has unusually larger pads with only 2 pistons.

Yeah, I would double check part #s. Wilwood makes lots of different variations of these, and it's easy to mix them up!

The Wilwood Part # for the kit is: 140-10996-DR
