Overview
Baer Brakes’ Track4 kit, part number 4301597B, equips the front of 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10 and GMC half-ton trucks with a black 2-piece, 4-piston T4 caliper. The caliper clamps a 13 inch vented rotor and uses the D0749 pad type.
Baer’s application entry is GM C10 trucks 60-87 for 2WD half-ton models. The kit is built to mount to Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles, and the rotor fits wheels 17 inch in diameter or larger. Baer warns that it cannot guarantee fit for every wheel style.
Key features
- 2-piece, 4-piston T4 caliper made in Phoenix, Arizona
- CNC machined from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder coated caliper in Black
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals, T compliant
- 1-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor
Spindles and caliper mounting
A caliper is only as solid as the part it bolts to. Before buying, confirm that the spindles you plan to use will accept this caliper bracket and rotor, and that the hub bearings are in good condition. Loose or worn spindle bearings allow the rotor to wobble, which causes pulsation and uneven pad contact even when the caliper itself is sound.
Torque and alignment matter once everything is on. Tighten the mounting hardware to its specified torque, use thread locker where it is called for, and recheck the bolts after the first few runs. Lightly lubricate the caliper slide surfaces if the design calls for it, and keep grease away from the friction surface of the pads.
- Confirm spindle and bearing condition first
- Recheck mounting bolts after early drives
- Keep grease off pads and rotor
- Bed in new pads before heavy use
