Anyone know what brakes and rotors these are (5on5.5). Bought a built 9" this weekend and the seller wasnt sure what they were. He never changed the pads and the brakes were on the axle when he bought it.

Have you tried cleaning them up and looking for part numbers? You could probably cross reference the part numbers on NAPA's website .

Those are Chevy Truck Calipers, mine came from a 1978 Full Size, they used those for a bunch of years.

I have basicly the exact same disc setup on my 9in. Its probably running CJ rotors and weld on caliper brackets

Be aware though, it's almost impossible to tell the 1/2 ton from the 3/4 ton calipers. But based on those rotors (pretty narrow-5lug) they should be 1/2 ton. Hope that helps.
