Overview
Grabber Blue is the finish on this 4301597GB Track4, a complete front disc brake kit from Baer Brakes for 1960–1986 Chevrolet C10 and GMC half-ton trucks. The 2-piece, 4-piston T4 caliper is powder coated and mounts to a 13 inch vented rotor.
The kit is made for GM C10 trucks from 60-87 with 2WD half-ton drive. It pairs with Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles, and the 13 inch rotor is sized for wheels 17 inch in diameter or larger. Not every wheel style will clear it, so check the template before mounting.
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 Grabber Blue
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons that reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor
Choosing a wheel
Wheel choice is the most common reason a big-brake conversion fails to fit. The rotor and caliper need clearance from the spokes or inner barrel, and the wheel must sit at the offset the spindle was designed around. Before buying wheels, test-fit the Q082H template against each candidate and turn the steering from lock to lock.
Wheel weight and tire size also affect the brakes. Heavier wheels store more heat under repeated stops, and a tire that rubs the caliper at full steering lock can damage the seals and the rotor edge. Recheck clearance after any change in tire size, and again after the first few drives on a new setup.
- Test-fit the template before buying wheels
- Check clearance at full steering lock
- Recheck clearance after tire size changes
- Choose wheel offset with the spindle in mind
