If you need to do a brake job you can easily convert yours to a 1in rotor. Go and buy 2 new rotors, 2 new calipers, brake pads, 2 new inner bearings, and 2 new bearing seals for 1in rotors. The outer bearings, dust cap, and the rest of the hardware will fit. If your going to get junkyard parts, look for 81-87 c10 and measure the rotor thickness as they came with both 1in and 1 1/4in. Burbs and 73-80 all have 1 1/4in rotors.

Interesting, never knew that.

Or....

instead of getting all that other stuff, you could just return what you got for what you need, maybe?

I may as well keep them becouse of shipping costs
