Product details
This Wilwood Superlite 6R kit is a front drum-to-disc conversion for 1964–1970 Chevy and GMC 2WD Trucks. One-piece iron 11.86 x 1.25-inch rotor/hub castings replace the drum assemblies and work with radial six-piston Superlite calipers. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977. Based in Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures complete disc brake systems and individual calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized installations.

- The friction discs measure 11.86 in; 301.24 mm across and 1.25 in; 31.75 mm thick; plain face surfaces are used on vented Iron rotors.
- Each caliper carries 6 pistons made from stainless. The Superlite 6R design uses forged aluminum, radial mounting and a Black Powder Coat finish.

- Sold as a complete kit for the specified front installation.
Fitment & Compatibility
Use the listed Chevrolet and GMC two-wheel-drive drum-spindle applications. Match the exact factory spindle, bearing dimensions and wheel pattern before assembly. Separate spindle brackets secure the radial calipers; the original spindle remains in service. Models covered: C10 Panel, C10 Pickup, Suburban, 1000 Series, 1000, C10 Suburban, C15/C1500 Suburban, C1500 Pickup, Blazer and Jimmy. Use the complete application table at the bottom for the precise year, submodel, brake option and note attached to each row.
If a separate rear parking-brake conversion is also planned, a universal parking cable may need cable or vehicle changes; it is not part of this front kit.
With over 20 years of parts experience, PMB Performance can help compare your existing brakes and mounting dimensions with this kit. Send the relevant year, brake option and wheel profile before ordering if the installation has been modified.
