i have calipers/rotors/mounts from a front d44. is there any reason i cant make these work on my rear d60? i realize ill probably have to enlarge the hole in disc/mount and i guess redrill for 8 lug, is there anything else? am i overlooking something obvious that will prevent me from doing this(or make it cost prohibitive)?
thanks in advance

The calipers will work, the caliper mounts can be modified to work but the 6 or 5 lug rotors will not. You will need 8 lug rotors. The 5/6 lug rotors do not have a big enough hat area to redrill them to 8 lug.

You can..but you need custom caliper brackets...I'm having this done on my RC60 next week....

You don't need custom caliper brackets - you can use 3/4 ton chevy 44 ones:

No. Just 60 calipers.

umm you can get some front disks off a IFS 3/4 chevy and use some dana 44 calipers.
