Camaro Brakes on S10 

Thanks! Not a show car, but not roadkill either.

Yes in my opinion the 01 and newer blazer is an easier alternative. While you're there grab the rear fist. Everyone wants Camaro for bragging rights. But for the rear S-10 Blazer is is also easier to incorporate parking brake without fabrication

Thank you sir! 🙏 I can't take credit for figuring this stuff out. Many have figured it out before me, I'm just trying to share my experience to hopefully add to the info that's already out there. Glad you're enjoying it!

I'm making my own brackets, but I need to find a machine shop to turn down the rotors. Also for my '89 S-10. lol

@@jayinmi3706 I would to if I wasn't in the middle of a major remodel of my house and I'm also doing the same brake upgrade on my 91 formula firebird for me it's just as easy for the machine shop to make 6 brackets while they are cutting 4 hubs I'm thinking of doing the Camaro frt brakes on the rear of the S10 so I have to make a template for the rear brackets and the caliper brackets I'm using for the rear are from the frt of a Chevy envoy but uses the same caliper as the camaro and is 12inch rotor diameter the firebird already has rear disc brakes but are only single piston rear calipers and I just got new Riddler 606 18 inch wheels for the S10. And the c5 wheels I was using on the s10 will now go on the firebird just need to pick some sticky rubber for the 18 inch wheels. Good luck with your S10

I wish I owned all that stuff. Maybe one day, but yes, I'm very grateful to have access to that type of equipment, and I try to never abuse the privilege

@@CheekyGarage how much material did you shave off the hub on the lathe? What size is the outside diameter now?

Yup because I need one rn

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks! And yeah, everything except for the machining is happening in my garage. I'm pretty excited to put these to the test! I was wanting to do the brake upgrade before I tore the truck down, but I got impatient lol

what are you guys using to upgrade the master and proportioning valve. going from stock disc/drum s10 to c5 front and later blazer rear disc

@@internallycombusted1 I just used factory S10 Disk/Disk proportioning valve and the master that was on it, works great for me, not a single problem, and stops on a dime.

Tony Roma , I only use a BFH

Thank you for the kind words, but I'm certainly no genius. I'm just guy, simply mimicking what many have done before me, and hopefully adding a little extra information in the process

much cheaper to use blazer spindle and set up...

That's awesome. Glad you enjoy it. I'll go on there when doing research, but I haven't posted over there in a long time. Felt like I was just talking to myself

Yep! That's them. I have a link in the description for Summit, but Rockauto is great for stock replacement stuff for sure!

Oh sorry, I didn’t even check your link. That’s for a complete set of 10, from Summit. Nice! I’ll be starting this swap myself in a couple of months. Great video.

@@teambogus85 Nice! Well I hope there was something helpful in this video. There really is a ton of info out there, and while there's certainly a few steps involved, the swap is pretty straightforward. Best of luck on your swap!

This is the way most s10 guys go and it services your purposes just as well

Thank you! 🙏 I'm just a guy working on my truck

It doesn't have to be milled down. I just did it to clean it up. Once the rotor is turned down on the lathe, that part is pretty thin. It would probably be just fine to take it down with a grinder if you don't have access to a mill.

98-02. Couldn't tell ya the smallest wheel size, but they clear my 18s by a mile

98 to 02 Camaros had 16 inch rims as the smallest option

Bracket drawings can be found in the S10 Forum thread I linked in the description. My spindles are Belltech 2" drop spindles, but stock ones would work the same

S10 Trailblazer or the newer Trailblazer?

@@shadymaint1 up to 2002 !!!

That is the S10 Trailblazer package. It was just a regular Blazer.

@@shadymaint1 tb dime is 4wd too so wouldn't work on a 2wd I suppose

I doubt it. I believe the smallest (possibly only) size wheel from the f-bodies were 16s.

Get a 4x4 s10 rear end its 2" wider and has disc brakes. They have a caliper adapter for corvette 4 pistons on ebay.

@@scootersonlyrepair6773 that's way too much for rear disks. I'd prefer drums in the rear they last what seems forever and only need an adjustment once a year or so. Plus my s10 is all original zq8 suspension LS package V6 extended cab with zero rust and all vin matching body panels I wouldn't remove the original posi rear for a 4wd rear with no posi that doesn't fit correctly. The plan is repaint the original black and call it a day the interior is like new and it runs perfect great little truck as is.

Visit the thread linked in the description. You can find the prints there

@@CheekyGarage Thanx

I don't think there's a company that sells them, but I'm pretty sure there a few folks on forums that do, and a few eBay sellers as well

Bigbrakeupgrade.com

I just ordered hubs and brackets through them

Sweet thanks!

@@amarucook7755 do u have the link

There are companies out there that sell hubs and brackets, but whether you do it yourself, or buy the parts, this is simply what goes into it. Either way should net you good results
