calileo 07-30-2002, 06:05 PM Just picked up a dana 60 rear and would like to figure out my disc brake options. It is from a early ford, FF. But it does not have the wide drums that most 60s have. The brake surface is only about 2 inches wide. Can anyone give me some info on this axle? WMS-WMS is approx 65". I want to slap some discs on it and get it ready to swap in. Thanks for the info! Caleb MetalMender 07-30-2002, 08:26 PM Ok for starters you will have to true up the backside of the hubs on a lathe so the rotors will have a nice flat to live,(do search on D60 rear discs) I used mid 70's gm 3/4 rotors $22, and 77 blazer calipers $13 and made my own weld on caliper brackets. You will also need new studs which I will have to look in the dorman book to get you the # that I used but I do know the price $1.70 x 16 :eek: If you need any help let me know and here is a pic of what mine look like. noonan 07-31-2002, 06:08 AM nice work mender! dieselcruiserhead 07-31-2002, 10:59 AM Check in the back of a 4 wheeler or Petersons and you'll find at least half a dozen companies that supposedly make a bolt on option for a Dana 60 rear end. Their not cheap tho might might be an easier option if you're willing to spend the money. I wouldn't pay more that $400 for a complete rear end setup. Andre | |
