Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301571MG is an Extreme Plus brake kit in Monster Green for 1960-1986 Chevrolet and GMC C10 2WD 1/2 ton trucks. The manufacturer list also names Chevrolet Suburban trucks, GMC 3000 models from 1960-1966, GMC C15 trucks from 1975-1978, GMC C15/C1500 trucks from 1967-1974 and GMC C1500 trucks from 1979-1986. Each caliper is a 1-piece monoblock 6-piston unit clamping a 14 inch, 2-piece rotor.
This system suits trucks fitted with Cpp X10 or Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles. The spindles are not part of the package. The 14 inch Extreme Plus is made for most 18 inch or larger wheels, and any wheel should be checked with template N117P before fitting.

Brake maintenance on a classic truck
Classic trucks rely on older master cylinders and boosters, so the front brakes are only one part of the stopping system. A new caliper and rotor perform best when the rest of the hydraulic system is in good shape. Check fluid condition, pedal feel and any signs of leaks during the first few drives.
Pads should be inspected on a regular schedule, and worn pads should be replaced before they reach the backing plate. Rotors need the same attention, since grooves, heat spots and uneven thickness all reduce braking consistency. Measuring rotor thickness with a micrometer is a straightforward check during any pad change.
- Check master cylinder and booster operation
- Replace pads before backing plates contact rotors
- Measure rotor thickness at pad changes
