If it's of interest - the rotor I bought was wrong. It was about .3" too tall, and the rotor disk was 1.5" instead of 1.25" thick. I found a supplier who claimed to have the last 4 in existence for my 40 yr old antique RV, and priced them like gold - three times what NAPA sold almost the identical part for. After careful measurement, I found some through Amazon that have the identical dimensions, and are supposed to fit the Chevy 1 ton series. It was about $25 more than the rotor from NAPA ($145 instead of $120) and shipped free (not bad for 50 pounds of iron). Rockauto had the flexible brake hose on closeout for $10 each side. The local NAPA had the caliper for $18 (with $20 core). With luck, I'll get this back together next week.
The machine shop that claimed to be able to supply a rotor called their supplier and found that it was the same rotor being sold by NAPA - the wrong size.
