Overview
The Baer Brakes 4302469R is a red rear disc brake kit for 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10 trucks with a 6-lug, 2WD rear end, per the manufacturer fitment list. The kit centers on a red 6S six-piston caliper and a 15 inch slotted, drilled rotor, with park brake parts included and hubs prepared at the factory for a bolt-on install.
The caliper is a forged one-piece monoblock with stainless steel pistons, and its staggered design is meant to reduce uneven pad wear. Coverage runs through 1986, so verify your truck’s model year before committing to this kit.
Key features
- Forged one-piece monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper in red
- Powder coated finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons that help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Hubs assembled with bearings and races packed in Redline synthetic grease
Choosing the right setup
Rear disc brake kits are usually matched to the axle housing, wheel size and parking hardware, so start by confirming those three before buying. The caliper and rotor sit inside the wheel, which means wheel clearance can change once the kit is mounted. A 15 inch rotor needs a wheel with room for the caliper body and pads, so take a measurement before final assembly.
Pads and rotors wear at different rates depending on driving. Heavy use on steep trails or frequent highway braking can wear pads quickly, while light use may leave rust on the rotor surface. Check the pads at each tire rotation, look for scoring on the rotor, and replace parts that show uneven wear. Keep brake fluid fresh, because moisture lowers its boiling point.
- Measure wheel clearance around the caliper before ordering pads
- Use fresh brake fluid during the bleed
- Replace the rotor when it shows deep scoring or uneven wear
- Bed in new pads after the first installation

Vehicle fitment
It fits 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10 trucks with a 6-lug rear end. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
It is for the Chevrolet C10 from 1960 to 1986. Check your truck’s year, model and trim against this coverage, especially for Blazer or Suburban applications.
Installation notes
The hubs arrive with bearings and races already installed and packed in Redline synthetic grease, so mounting the kit means bolting it to the control arms. Lug nuts are not included, so have a set ready. Test the wheel fit against template N135U first, because Baer does not guarantee fit across all wheel styles.
What’s included
The kit covers the rear brake components described above: the red 6S caliper, the slotted and drilled two-piece rotor with aluminum hat, and the park brake parts.
Not included: front rotor and lug nuts.
