ok I wanna first off know if anyone knows if hte Closed knuckle 60's out of a 60's WW11 ambulance are tha same as everyother closed knukle 60....

do I need to get a BOM # ? or have enough people done this to know??

I assume I can figure out hte rear 70 since I have disked 14bolts and my rear 60 before...


so anyone got info on this or a link?

what parts and master I can use is my main worry...if master is unknown I will go willwood


thanks!

EDIT: DOH forgot they are that 6 lug rockwell pattern...can that be remidied as well? I know of no disks for rockwells pattern...

Call DynaTrac (unsure of #) I had a friend with a similar D70 front that they said they could convert.

Austin, you are a dumb shit!!!

Rockwells are rockwell pattern. This front "60" IF it's 6 lug, will not be Rockwell pattern.

FuckNut!!!:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

have you seen the lug pattern on military closed knuckle dana 60's? if it's not the rockwell pattern, it's damn close.

do a search on swapping m715 front drums to discs. there are a few companies out there that do that.

You're right, it is close, but not the same...

The M715 is 6 on 7.25" , NOT 6 on 8.75"

So, THIS makes austin a DUMBASS!!!

I thought the closed knuckle 60's and 70's both ahd the smaller 1.31" inner axles like a D44....

Yup, that's why i said "This front "60" IF it's 6 lug..."

the quotes denote a wannabe a 60...

yes i tis ..this is for a freind who wants to convert his whaaaambulance to discs...he will never break a shaft . (I.E. doesn't want to swap )
