I heard about 110mm calipers and searched the forum, there is some discussion but it seems to be about GM 3500 trucks so i assume it's only applicable to the one ton conversion?

Is that correct?

Thanks

Dave,

The 110mm caliper is a DUAL PISTON caliper. It WILL NOT bolt to a Toronado, Eldorado, or GMC knuckle.

Here's a picture of it:

These are pictures of the Chevy 1 ton front end Jim Rountree's installed on his GMC.

NO it is NOT a bolt on installation. It takes SERIOUS fabricating skills to install.

NO Jim WILL NOT be selling a kit to do it.

Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,

Thakns for that clear and simple answer. I'm sure the 80mm upgrade will be terrific.
