1967-1972 Chevrolet Trucks - Project Get Shorty - Tech

Once the calipers are bolted up, I could then install the new POL e-brake cables to the calipers.

Up front, the Air Ride Technologies control arms were already installed. However, the ART arms utilize the old-style ball joints, so I had to take them off and head down to have the new ball joints pressed in.

Sal down at Placentia Auto in Placentia, CA, helped us out by pressing the new POL ball joints into the arms.

Once back at the tech center, I reinstalled the arms and dropped the new POL drop spindle into place, which was also spray painted black for a clean look.

Before the front rotors can be installed, I had to grease the new bearings and install them using the new seals as well.

POL gives you all the necessary hardware to mount the new front rotors, so it was a breeze mounting everything up.

The new calipers bolt directly to the spindles instead of using a separate mounting plate. My next step was to bolt the calipers to the spindles.

Instead of using rubber flex hoses, we are going to use these sick-looking stainless hoses that will also add some performance to the system.

When bolting the stainless hoses to the calipers, be sure to use the provided copper washers for a secure fit.
