I will be getting a 78 Luv in two weeks. I was wondering if there is a set of calipers to upgrade to?

I have fitted vented rotors and calipers from a 84 Isuzu Trooper, all bolt on fitment.

When using the Trooper setup, can you still use the LUV spindles and dust shields?

Yes & Yes Just unbolt the solid Luv rotor from your hub and bolt on the Trooper vented rotor, calipers are a direct swap over also.

You can be sure that I will be at a Upull yard this weekend buying the Trooper brake parts.
What I really need is a conversion to Chevy 5 lug bolt pattern. Anyone know of that changeover?
