slight brake rotor confusion...please clarify

first off ,sorry to botha ya.I gut 2 sets of spindles,one set from bell tech :dropped 1 tons (got em 4 free @ junkyard,hid em under some crap in wheelbarrow!! FREEBIE) the other is from a 3/4 ton sub. figured i could use the rotors from the sub on the one ton spindle,they fit except the brake pad falls right through caliper on to the rotor researched this friggn site for a week and think theres a diffrence in rotor thickness between 3/4 ton and 1 ton srw.went to autozone looked up 1 ton srw front rotors and they came up with the freakn same thickness rotor as the 3/4 ton suburban.(1.125 min thickness) i need the 1.486 min thickness. wtf am i doin wrong? am i outta ouda or what? anyhow im frustrated any part #s out here.thanks in advance. dont think this computa is capable of postn any pics.gutta go some where 2 do it.wheres that guy from vegas? u there

All I can say is WOW! I hope the person who runs the yard you stole from finds out and kicks you in the nuts!!!

What year trucks did the rotors come off of? I though only the 89 and back year model trucks had different rotor thickness'.

As for lifting the spindles. We shoot people where I come from for actions like that.
Also Autozone does not have the best part # resource either. You may have better luck at another store.

lockone ,you are a very good source of info. the rotors came off (i think a 91)... anyhow took a shot in the dark with autozone but got it figured out today at a good "truck" place today.someday if im in tennessee id like to shake your hand and buy you a beer.i went to tennessee last summer tryn to get a job drivn a big old rock n roll bus, forget the name of town but somewhere near nashville.i was in some beautiful country, i would have moved there .anyhow i drilled out ball joint taper and put a big heim in instead you think thats a no no ?Id like to email some pics 2 you ,something wrong with computer (or operator) just cant get it right ,but my email does send pics, the heim hole is 2.5" below the bottom of the ball joint taper... 90 bucks sound right 4 rotor?

I would use a uniball setup for the balljoint instead on the heim joints but they will do the job fine also. Price sounds about right for some good Chevy rotors.

You were probably in White House or Lebanon looking at the Tour Bus companies that is where they all are.

Next time your in TN just drop on by the shop.
