Product details
Black Dynalite calipers provide the hydraulic service braking in this Wilwood rear conversion for Chevrolet / GMC C1500 (1988–1998). They work with 12.19 × 0.81-inch plain face rotors; the vehicle designation must be considered together with the mounting details below. Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977, is based in Camarillo, California. Its work covers the design and manufacture of disc-brake systems and components for specialized vehicles, motorsport and street-performance use. The product range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines; compatibility depends on the complete system.

Fitment & Compatibility
For the five-lug 1988–1998 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 axle flange documented in DS1563. Verify the housing pattern, 3.25-inch measured axle offset and the specific wheel clearance.
