   Full-size GM vans continued featuring drum brakes for several more years, transitioning entirely to disc brakes by 2003. [5] The original design of the braking system within the 14-bolt differentials accommodated diverse wheel sizes, initially fitting drums suitable for 15-inch wheels and later adapting to cater to the needs of 3/4-ton and 1 ...
