GM A, F, X Body Basic Wheel

Pirate Jack Front Disc Brake Basic Wheel Kit | 1967–69 F-Body, 1964–72 A-Body, 1968–74 X-Body | Stock Height Spindles, Backing Plates, Caliper Brackets & Hardware

Build your front disc brake conversion on the right foundation.

Converting your classic GM from front drums to discs starts with the parts that hold everything in place. The Pirate Jack Basic Wheel Kit gives you that foundation in one box: stock height spindles, backing plates, caliper brackets and the hardware to bolt it all together. It’s built for the most popular GM muscle car platforms: the 1967–69 Camaro and Firebird, 1964–72 Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass and Skylark, and 1968–74 Nova.

You choose the rotors, calipers and hoses that fit your build and budget, and this kit handles the mounting.

Stock height spindles keep your stance right
These spindles keep your car at its original ride height. They’re the right choice for restorations and stock-stance builds where you want disc brake stopping power without changing how the car sits.

Why convert to front disc brakes?

• Stronger, more consistent stopping: Discs shed heat better than drums and resist fade.
• Better in wet weather: Discs clear water quickly and recover fast.
• Less maintenance: No shoe adjusting or drum springs.
• Better pedal feel: More predictable, confident braking every time.
