Need help with identifying disc setup

Post by mnagatani »

Found a guy who is selling a disc brake setup from a 74 year model. He sent me some pictures and I'm not sure if these are from a truck. Any opinions or ideas? Based on the pics, something tells me they are coming from something else. Thanks
