Overview
For 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10 and GMC half-ton trucks, the Baer Brakes 4301597CY Track4 supplies a complete front disc brake kit with a Comp Yellow caliper. The T4 caliper has two pieces and four pistons and is paired with a 13 inch vented rotor.
The kit is made for 2WD trucks and covers GM C10 trucks 60-87. It is intended for trucks that run Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles. Wheels should be 17 inch in diameter or larger, and not every wheel design will clear the kit, so check fit before mounting.
Key features
- 2-piece, 4-piston T4 caliper manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona
- Caliper body CNC machined from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder coated Comp Yellow finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- 1-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor
Routine inspection
Regular checks keep a front brake kit working as designed. Look at the caliper body for fluid seepage around the pistons and bleed screws, and check that the caliper slides or pins move freely if the design uses them. A caliper that drags will overheat the pads and can leave the rotor discolored, so note any heat smell after a drive.
Brake hoses deserve attention too. Braided hoses resist swelling better than rubber, but the fittings still need to be tight and free of leaks. Inspect the hoses for chafing against the spindle or suspension, and replace them if you see damage. Keep the brake fluid fresh, since moisture lowers its boiling point and can cause fade on long descents.
- Check for fluid seepage at fittings
- Look for pad wear that differs side to side
- Inspect hoses for chafing
- Replace brake fluid on a regular schedule
