Massive brakes for ’66 Chevy | BANKS BUILT 24

With massive power comes the need for massive brakes and that’s just what we get this week. Michael Hamrick from Wilwood brings a stack of boxes to Banks. The boxes include 15.5″ rotors to help hault the Duramax.

Gale announces his top speed goal for our ’66 Chevy pickup. But getting to that speed isn’t the issue. It’s stopping power that we’ll need help with. That’s where Wilwood Engineering comes in. We need a TX6R big brake kit front and rear. Wait until you see the size of these calipers and rotors.

Gale explains everything there is to know about our Duramax. Michael explains how the massive brakes they’ve made at Wilwood will stop it. The pedal assembly is revealed and it looks great. Especially when Erik brings out the old one to compare the two.

After this, it’s time to start fabricating! Erik and Matt rip out the last of the wiring under the dashboard to make room for a custom bracket that’ll support the steering column, brake pedal assembly, and master cylinder.
