this is for all intents the chevy/d70 bible, while it is not an artical it is about the single most comprehensive colection of information on the axle and its many uses and setups. now because it is an active thread it will change, grow and evolve as the times and styles of modification do.


disc brake conversion
http://pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/14b_disc_brakes/

this artical is all the fullfloating disc brake info you will need, it can also help you understand what you will need to do, use and modify on other axles that you might want to disc swap. however it will not have much on particular applications and parts to swap your particular axles, unless its a d70/14bff. bare in mind that since this was writen dozens upon dozens of mfg's have began to make bolt on brackets for just about every possible combonation of hub and axle housing you can think of.

what about the idjits that are color blind?

[JOKER4X4]

A mod needs to pin this up top, big letters, bright colour, etc.

Hopefully it will cut down on the stupid questions.

Thank you, Very good post

[Flatline's Up!]

what do I need to flip the hubs, install lockers, wheel disc brakes, pinion brakes spring rates, wheel/tire sizes, install boots, differences in types, strengths etc on 2.5t rockwell axles?

that's the only question I have.

K. Thx.




Good idea btw for putting them all in one thread. Easy to find info is the way to go.

If your front diff looks like this:



It's NOT a D60.
It's a 10bolt.

[c10truck]

Hey im hoping someone can help me. Im building a street rod truck and I have a gm 14 bolt rear end that was built for it. Im trying to find a disc brake conversion kit but heres the problem....Its a gm 14 bolt, 9.5, 5 lug which is rare enough but the axle housing end pattern for the disc brake kits dont match anything ive seen online. The 14 bolt is only listed at 3 3/8 by 2 5/8 and the chevy 10 and 12 bolt are completely diff measurements. Is this just some abortion rear end they made and im screwed on a disc brake kit??
