they are not drict bolt in ... if it disk brakes you want i can tell you have to add them for 150.00 or less .. to you stock rearend ..

[c1500]

yeah how do you add rear discs for &#036;150? and when i do the swap will my wheel offset change?

i bought most of my parts from summitracing they have no core charge on there calipers.. there cross drill rotor are cheaper then stock .. that will be the part number i&#39;ll use . you can go to any auto parts store and buy all these parts or go to the junkyard.

here the part number for calipers
RNB-CA10102R &#036;26.95
RNB-CA10101L &#036;26.95

here the part number for rotors
SUM-DSEP-55017L &#036;49.95
SUM-DSEP-55017R &#036;49.95

you need two front brake lines for a 1998 s-10 .. i use some custom made steel braided line from www.smileysracing.com.. you can get them from any parts store &#39;

The only thing you really need to modify are the brackets need to be beveled a little, like the diagrams in earlier posts. Then you either weld on the bracket or drill 2 holes in each to bolt it on. Also dont forget to drill the holes to 9/16 in the rotors.

What took the longest was grinding the bracket, test fitting, grinding, testing, etc. Then fitting everything together 3 or 4 times until i was satisfied all was good. Very easy

i hope this help . let me know if you have any questions .

The disc brake rear isn&#39;t a leaf spring rear in the impala if I remember correctly. You&#39;d have to have mounting perches welded to it.

Using the s10 calipers will cause you to loose your e-brake. If you use the impala rear calipers you will retain ebrake. Just FYI.
