Does anyone make any different knuckle for the Ball-Joint type Ford 60 front.I didn't know the Brake bracket's where made on the knuckles. I would like to use 1/2 or 3/4 ton brake Caliber's.

just get 16" or bigger rims
17" seem to be super popular now

agreed. even if there was someone out there that sold aftermarket ends (none that i know of?) you would be spending more on the ends then a new set of wheels.

My friend ran 15's with 2.75 backspacing.
Then he just swapped to 16.5 Hummers.

Mine is missing all the brake stuff is the reason for asking. I say all the stuff I need will be expensive.

Check out the stuff from Solidaxle.com, lets you run chevy stuff and 15" rims, not cheap though

do you need a knuckle? i think the calipers are the same for the same year TTBs :confused: right?

IIRC yes. (the d50 ttb) As are the rotors, hubs, and lockouts

Yep, easiest way to convert from D60 DRW to SRW, although I think there is something with the bearings, can't remember which ones, but I don't think they are the same hub bearings.

There is no difference in the bearings, everything off of my 50 went on my 60, no issues.

Bearings are the same also. My D60 was DRW and I used D50 stuff to convert it.

hum, I bought all the parts, but sold the axle before I could do the swap. Good to know
