After much searching and posting elsewhere to no avail;
Where do the differences that account for the WMS to WMS measurement discrepancy between a GM and Dodge Dana 60 occur (GM and Dodge kingpin front axles approx. 78-91 or so)? I have researched this at length, and cannot seem to find the answer to this; the GM is roughly 1.5 inches wider WMS to WMS, yet the inner and outer shafts between the two axles are interchangeable. According to the BillaVista writeup, the caliper brackets, calipers, hubs, and spindles are all interchangeable, so does this leave the sole burden of difference upon the rotor itself? That being asked....can I swap GM brake parts onto a Dodge Dana 60 front? This application is in an 85 Chevy truck, but that nonwithstanding, the GM parts are about half the price of the Mopar.
Edit: The axle in question is of the external hub 79-91 variety, which differs in some internal dimensions from the 92-93 internal hub axle.
