I keep hearing rumors that the spindle from a NBS (6-lug) can be swapped into an OBS to facilitate bigger brakes on an OBS. Cant seem to run them to ground. Optionally, is there a hub that will bolt on to the OBS that will accept a rotor/hat from a NBS and allow me to fab up a caliper mount to order? Any other options that dont require a 2nd on the house to get bigger/better brakes on the front of my truck?
Anyone?

i may have started that rumor, i put the question out there because i had the idea while looking at a nbs spindle. i pulled measurements and it should work, but i am still gathering all the parts. ill let you know how it goes, but i have found that even the nbs master cyl will mount on our old vac boosters

I had a thought last night. If I could find engineered drawings of our front suspension (with all the measurements) and those of a C-6 vette, its possible that we could use our stock LCAs, the vette uprights, and the vette UCAs with slightly relocated upper A-arm mounts and get the big C-6 brakes and calipers and a pretty cool looking UCA. And our unsprung weight would improve too. Actually, getting the E drawings of a nbs would help too.
Something else I ran across; there seems to be a way to bolt the big Z06 brakes to an Impala SS spindle...............................
