Ok, so far it sounds like the 14 bolt disc brake brackets will bolt up to my Eaton axle, but the spacing is slightly different. I could not find out how different it was though. The only kit I could find specifically for the Eaton is from Blackbirds, which seems like a nice kit, but I could save a whole lot of money buying the rotors myself. Also, it seems a gearbox out of a '73-'87 has a tighter ratio (one less turn lock to lock) and should bolt up. Is there anyone that could agree or disagree with these findings or give me any more info?
