THEY DONT FIT. The mounting bolt centers are 5-1/4 " , should be 7"
The pads are wrong also.
They came in nice boxes...

Are you sure you have the original axle? A lot can change over the course of 47-ish years. I seem to recall a change in the brake design somewhere around the 1979 time frame, but I could be wrong. It has been a number of years since I went down that rabbit hole when I was collecting the axles & axle parts for under my K5.
Also worth noting is that there may have been different brake packages which would fall into RPO codes on the SPI label inside the glovebox (assuming it is still there).

Yes, I know more about OUR VEHICLE than you do. I KNOW its all original
The TOPIC is not me, my vehicle, RPO codes etc..
The TOPIC is Summit said they fit, they dont.
Prehaps a reply on topic?
