The parts are:
- 1985 Monte Carlo front brake calipers
- 1985 Monte Carlo front brake pads
- 1990 Chevy K1500 regular cab front brake rotors
- A&A Manufacturing Caliper brackets # AA - 113
The Monte Carlo Calipers use the same banjo fitting as our trucks as well, sorry I don't have all of the part numbers, but I'm sure you can get that stuff at almost any local parts store.

If I remamber correctly a friend of mine said he uses Monte Carlo brake calipers on his dirt track car.

Yes most of the cars that use the front clip of a GM car will have the same basic calipers on a dirt track car, I was on a pit crew for a dirt track team for 2 years.

Maybe stupid questions but, Why the 1990 k1500 brake rotors? Will my 03 rotors work? Sorry for all the questions.

They are 1" smaller in diameter than the originals.

Good info! Does this A&A caliper bracket bolt to the factory truck backing plate?
