Just an FYI the Oldsmobile Bravada of the same year Blazers will work as well, same exact setup. Just in case you can't find the Blazer. G-Body forever!!!
This is interesting but don't forget that in 78 atleast an El camino has the older spindles like the 77. Then in 79 all G bodys had the same. Wildwood has a direct bolt up dual piston caliper kit with pads I used that works. Called the dual D154 front caliper kit for under $400 caliper and pads. Not bad if you ask me. I also got the Wildwood 1 inch bore master cylinder and proportion valve that comes off it. Will need to relocate the washer fluid reservoir. Still putting it together. Having issues because the stock has 1/4 and 3/16 brake lines. Will have to modify that if you get the master cylinder. Will update after and also have the drum brakes in rear but wanted to not lock up the rear drums which it did under strong stopping with 255 rear tires and 235 front.
I never knew about this swap. I appreciate the info. Originally I was looking for an inexpensive way to upgrade the back brakes and get rid of the drums...but I can upgrade all 4 with this idea. I'm looking forward to other videos. Thx for the content
The s10 is a 5 lug setup. If you look at the large blazers from the1980's,and 90's they are6 lug. What he has is the S10. It's understandable why you ask though.
Wow i wish i saw this about 12 hours sooner, just ordered and picked up drop spindles, rotors bearings calipers and pads for my regal all original spec
everything on the front was a Bolton operation and only needed bleeding. 4:19. All you do is get the entire brake assembly off the donor car which is a 2 Wheel Dr. blazerincluding the brake line in the water on to the G body
Nice vid!! I would have liked to see how the rear switches as far as after pulling the axle, dropping the drums how the rear blazer caliper bracket mounts up.
Just found your channel brother!!! 3 G- Body's in my fleet!!! Two 79s and a 86 SS!!! I have 2" Bell Tech drop spindles with 13" Corvette brakes on one of my 79s!!! The other 79 is going 4x4 this Christmas week!!! Be sure to check out the build on my channel!!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!!

Could and would this work on my 79 Buick Regal? Every time I watch these videos then comment I get " well maybe you will have to research your vehicle. As you did, I want disc brakes front and rear. this was the best, and most informative video on this subject. Thank you for that.
This should work on that regal. The 79 regal should be a g body which means this should work even on those. As long as it uses the same suspension as the 80s models
I just did some more research on this and truthfully I'm not sure either. Ur car is considered an a body but it's kinda a g body. So what I would do is see if the suspension is set up like other g body's and if it does then this should work on your car
I wonder if this conversion would work on my 81 Monte Carlo 5.3 LS Swap. Since I have 14x7 reverse wire wheels My concern is clearance I don’t wanna have to shave off calipers since that a big thing in the Lowriders

Any help would be appreciated
you can have a 10 piston caliper, vehicle is going to stop the same as single caliper brakes, tire don't care how many pistons caliper's have, traction (tire) is and will be the limiting factor on how quick a car stops, the only thing is going to be noticeable is pedal feel, perception, so it would be akin to kidding yourself, I went to dual piston, but upgraded to larger rotor diameter, car still stops the same, but now brakes take longer to overheat plus it takes less pedal effort, if you don't change tire width or compound you ain't changing much. Think of it this way, same car, same brakes, same tires, one test on dry road, next test on same road but wet....will a 12 piston caliper stop faster on wet road?
they are different. 2wd 4 banger S10's do not have a bolt on bearing. Taper roller bearing in the front and rears a drum brakes. 4wd s10s of that year however i believe have disc brakes and front and back. Know for a fact that the front brakes pads are different shapes between the two of them

Just go find a 2002 2wd blazer in the junk yard and take the whole set up. Ball joints are the same for those trucks and older g bodies. Geometry is all pretty much the same.
I've already determined that wheel size and bolt pattern are the same, but does this mod change the offset significantly enough to require different alignment specs?
No, S-10 front suspension was built from Left over "G" body suspension. Exactly the same just 3" narrower. 01 the SUV version (blazer) got a brake upgrade. That's the donor
I was wondering will this work on a 1995 Tahoe obs can I do this same swap off of a earlier 2000s Chevy truck on to mine?, i know that my suspension on my 95 are similar to the G-bodys,
I have a 1983 Cutlass and already have done the front....what all do I need to pull for the rear and what bracket will I need to install the caliper bracket?
I'm not 100% on the rear yet. I think u pull the whole backing plate and all for the rear and u have to cut the factory housing but I'll try to find out more info for you on that.
So for the front breaks what is it exactly that you do with the speed sensor? I didn’t get that, i thought you could just eliminate it. Can you elaborate more about that please..
Do you know if control arms are the same as well? Have a tubbed 78 elco with just 2 bare frame rails in front,previous owner took it all off,need everything. Thank u in advance
Hey man, just wondering if you have any thoughts on suspension wise? I have an 87 cutlass supreme that needs better "street/drag" suspension. Im wanting to do a full restore on it and keep it for as long as I can.
Let’s say I plan to do this but also want to 2” drop spindle my MC, could I order the drop spindle for the blazer & basically go to junkyard and grab everything else I need to do the swap. Grab all 4 besides the to front spindles & use it all the same? Thanks man, new to building.
Hello, you mentioned the rear aswell. I found a blazer(04) fronts are dual piston but the rear is single. Is that the correct setup or should the rear be dual also. I went to 2 junk yards this wkend and looked at 6 blazers(not trailzer) and they were all single piston.
What’s good! I’m planning on doing this set up to my 87 Grand National. My question to you is, would i still be able to run my 15inch wheels in the rear, better yet will the calipers give me the proper clearance? Thank you!
Moog used too and probably still makes offset upper control arm shafts and you can use the old shafts with the ends cut off, so you can get back the correct angles.
@@BOURBONANDBOOST so basically since I’m going to use the power stop brake caliper and drilled and slotted rotors, and new hub. All I need from the blazer is spindle and backing plate.

Yes you can use 15" inch wheels, this has been verified I own two Cutlasses, one 442 and one Supreme with this same setup. I will however note that it will ONLY work with 15" wheels or larger. As some of you may know the Cutlass Hurst and 442 for example came stock 15" wheels whereas the the more base packages (Supreme, Brougham, Calais) came with the 14" wheels. As the gentleman in the video stated the front calipers are literally plug and play but the rear calipers will have to be slightly modified, nothing major or difficult if your running the stock 7.5 or 8.5 rear differential. Their are videos on how this is done. G BODY NATION!!!!!✌🏾
Another upgrade is s-10's, and s-10's blazer with ZQ8 suspension option. Quick ratio Steering box
Does the new spindles raise the front end of the car?

Their are videos on how this is done. G BODY NATION!!!!!✌🏾
What about alignment?
Should not change alignment.
Did this upgrade raise the front end of the car?
No it's basically the same spindle
They r not the same. 76 nova is not a g body
Did you have to change the lug nuts
Depends on what year ur car is. My car already had metric lug nuts on it so I didn't change anything
I have the stock lugs
Will this work with B- body like box chevy
No
@@BOURBONANDBOOST alright any suggestions
Will the 2000 TrailBlazer work?
I don't think so. Those should be different
Trailblazer production started in 2002.
Can u still run original 14 inch rims after
Idk I run 14s with it but I've never done 14s
@@BOURBONANDBOOST I heard with some brake upgrades u had to have a bigger rim🤷🏾
So only the 2000 work? Not a 99' or an 01'?
98-04 2wd blazer should work
