Well the adapters for the disc brakes spindle came, so I started the assembly today. The diagram and verbal instructions were backwards for the caliber bracket which took about a hour to figure out and fix, and having to flip the king pin nut to the opposite side toward the front of the truck, so the bracket could be mounted properly.
Next when I mounted the caliber as diagramed, the caliber pins end up being too short, so a call to Classic Preformance revieled the wrong picture and instructions. Not to be fussed, I continued and mounted the rotor, finally getting to the caliber again for final assembly, only to find out the bracket is too short to clear the rotor with the caliber pins. Sounds confusing huh, see photos bellow.

So back on the phone to CPP with photos emailed back and forth, only to find out the brackets were mislabeled and the wrong pair sent to me, the correct ones will clear the rotor. Mario at CPP was real cool and will do a mail exchange for the right ones. Nothing like spending an entire day only to end where you started.
Well the positive side is the driver side will be a breeze after this passenger side!
Don what did you say a while back, after solving the electrical the brakes should be a breeze!
