It bolts up but you need a 60mm spacer(s) between the 14 bolt axle flange & the 10 bolt backing plate to get the caliper & rotor to align properly.


Here's a conversion kit that uses rotors, calipers, pads, front brake lines (optional) and banjo bolts for an 85 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup 6 lug FRONT axle. If you want to keep your e-brake simply use '78 El Dorado rear calipers instead of the Chevy front calipers.

This is the same place that made my 60mm alum spacers.
