Overview
The Baer Brakes Track4 brake kit 4301597R is a red front disc brake kit for 1960–1986 Chevy C10 and GMC C15 2WD half-ton trucks. It uses a 4-piston T4 caliper, a 13-inch vented rotor and D0749 pads, and it is built to run with Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles that are not included.
The minimum wheel diameter is 17.0 inch. Baer cannot promise a fit into every wheel design, so the Q082H template should be used against the chosen wheel before any work starts.
Key features
- Two-piece T4 caliper with four pistons, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
- Pistons staggered to even out pad wear across the caliper
- Seals rated for dust, weather and pressure, with T-compliant dust and weather seals
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated 13-inch 1-piece vented rotor
- Red powder coat finish over CNC machined components
- Stainless steel noise suppression clips and stainless braided hoses
Inspection after installation
After a brake upgrade, the first road test shows whether everything is seated correctly. Look for firm pedal feel, a straight pull under braking and steady stopping without pulsing. Any squeal, grinding or vibration should be investigated before the truck is driven hard. Wheel bearings, tie rod ends and ball joints affect how the brakes feel, so inspect them alongside the new hardware.
Powder coated calipers should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive pads and high-pressure washing near the seals, since these can damage the finish and dust boots over time. Check bleeder screws and hose connections periodically for weeping fluid.
- Test pedal feel with a slow, controlled stop
- Re-check fasteners after the first few drives
- Keep brake fluid at the marked level
