Wilwood Front Red-Caliper Superlite System with 13.06-Inch GT Rotors and Six-Lug Hubs, Listed GM Truck/SUV Iron ProSpindles (Listed 1963–1987 Applications)

The red six-lug GT front package includes Superlite 6R calipers, 13.06-inch slotted rotors, aluminum hubs and separate hats. BP-20 pads are specified for this rotor choice. It is a Wilwood iron ProSpindle brake conversion for the listed GM trucks and SUVs, requiring the exact spindle rather than a generic lowered setup. Compare the actual wheel shape to the drawing and check the assembled front/rear hydraulic balance. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977. Its disc brake systems serve motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. The range includes calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, with each component chosen for its role in the complete brake installation.

Fitment & Compatibility

These application rows require Wilwood C10 one-piece iron Pro Drop spindles; the kit will not fit original equipment spindles. The listed GM trucks and SUVs span specific 1963–1987 model ranges, so check the exact row and installed spindle. Relative to the original brakes and spindle, Wilwood specifies wheel movement of 0.41 inch outboard for 1963–1970 and 0.06 inch inboard for 1971–1987. Match the six-lug 6 × 5.50-inch wheel interface and allow for the resulting wheel position when checking fender, suspension and brake clearance. Spindles and flexible lines are not included. Use the complete application table below for the individual year, submodel, brake configuration and note attached to each entry.

For fitment assistance, send PMB Performance the vehicle details together with the installed spindle or axle configuration and wheel measurements. We draw on 20+ years of parts and fitment experience to help assess the combination.
