Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301570FR is a Pro Plus front disc brake system in Fire Red for 1960–1987 Chevrolet and GMC C10 two-wheel-drive half-ton trucks. It pairs a two-piece six-piston caliper with a 14-inch two-piece rotor, and it is designed to work with Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles or Cpp X10 spindles, which are not included.
The kit is a complete front brake upgrade for classic C10 pickups and Suburbans that run 18-inch or larger wheels. The aluminum caliper is powder coated in Fire Red, the rotor is slotted, drilled and zinc plated, and the D0731 pad type applies to this system.
Key features
- Two-piece six-piston (6P) caliper with stainless steel pistons and abutments.
- Staggered pistons are arranged to reduce uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure leaks.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 14-inch rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
- Stainless braided hoses, DOT approved, are included.
- CNC machined aluminum caliper with a powder-coated Fire Red finish, made in Phoenix, AZ.
Choosing spindles and wheel clearance
Front disc brake upgrades on classic C10 trucks often involve more than the caliper and rotor. The spindle sets hub position, bearing type and rotor mounting, so the spindle choice should be settled before the brake parts are ordered. Wider wheels and tires also change how much room the caliper has inside the wheel, which is why a clearance check matters before mounting.
Heavier trucks that are driven hard or used for towing put more heat into the pads and rotors. Inspect the rotor surface for scoring, heat cracks and thickness loss at each pad change. Slotted and drilled rotors help clear gas and water, but cracks can start around the drilled holes under severe use, so look there first. Replace aged rubber components at the same time to keep the front end working as a unit.
- Settle the spindle type before ordering brake parts
- Check wheel clearance around the caliper with the template
- Inspect rotor surface for scoring at each pad change
- Look for cracks around drilled holes
- Replace worn bushings and aged hoses during installation

Vehicle fitment
It fits these vehicles: 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10; 1967–1986 Chevrolet C10 Suburban; 1960–1966 and 1987–1989 Chevrolet Suburban; 1960–1966 GMC 3000; 1975–1978 GMC C15; 1967–1974 GMC C15/C1500; and 1979–1986 GMC C1500.
The kit is made for 2WD trucks, so four-wheel-drive models are not covered. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Plan on supplying spindles, because Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro and Cpp X10 units are not in the box. Check wheel clearance with the Q117P template against the 18-inch or larger wheel you plan to run. Brake work affects stopping, so have a qualified technician bleed the system and check pedal feel before the truck is driven.
What’s included
The kit includes the front six-piston caliper assembly, the two-piece 14-inch rotor with its billet aluminum hat, all mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses, and the pre-assembled stainless hardware.
Not included: Spindles. Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro or Cpp X10 spindles must be supplied separately.
