My friend at www.rockcrawler.com just hooked me up. He makes a bracket that fits the 3/4 ton truck rear axel that let you bolt the rotors and the calipers off the front of a 67-71 3/4 ton on the back.4 wheel disk brakes in a hour!. don't forget to remove or change the porportioning valve.You need equal pressure now.

That's awesome!! Now what about us 1/2 ton guys??? We don't get any love???

mikep684x4 · 12-03-2003, 03:26 AM

I'll hit him up and see what he comes up with,he's clever like that.

jorgensensc · 12-03-2003, 03:29 AM

I've been trying to find a kit at a reasonable price, but you have to run larger than 15" rims. I like my ralley's!!! Let us know!!!

mikep684x4 · 12-03-2003, 03:33 AM

These brackets cost me $14 each and I had the 3/4 ton front end in the back 40.I'll see him tommorrow so I'll let you know

s95930 · 12-03-2003, 11:24 AM

I am interested in hearing how it goes!

*dtlilly* · 12-03-2003, 04:08 PM

I'd like some info too, maybe some pics of the swap, thanks, Don.

1970blazin · 12-03-2003, 04:11 PM

I'd love info too!

Paul72 · 12-03-2003, 04:55 PM

Please keep us posted

Thanks!

Paul

**Yukon Jack** · 12-03-2003, 05:08 PM

That would be killer - if he will sell me a set for that price I will buy them! They are for the Eaton axle, correct? Then only have to source the rotors and calipers from someone on here, hmmm.

Stout72 · 12-03-2003, 05:28 PM

I'm interested, too! Got any pics of a finished, installed product? Will the bracket bolt up to a Dana 60?

72superBB · 12-03-2003, 05:36 PM

I'm jumping in on this bandwagon for the 1/2 ton guys.

Please let us know!

Solver · 12-04-2003, 12:43 AM

wanted to keep this at top till we have some pics and details

Longhorn Man · 12-04-2003, 12:47 AM

A new prop valve is needed...but not equal pressure. The rear is lighter than the front...esp when braking. An adjustable one from jegs or summit would be the way to go.
Any provisions for a parking brake on his set up? (Some states need it for inspection)

**BAD4X4** · 12-04-2003, 01:42 AM

Ya,ya, me want info too please. Thanx bad4x4

I didn't even think about that

**Yukon Jack** · 12-04-2003, 11:41 AM

On the setups I have seen made to convert to disc brakes, you do usually loose your parking brake. I have seen people add one to their rear transfer case output.

Any pics available for this bracket? I have an idea for a parking brake setup...

tom hand · 12-04-2003, 06:51 PM

Bigger trucks and motorhomes have parking brakes that mount to the driveshaft on the tail of the transmission....easy retrofit

69k5 · 12-13-2003, 11:58 PM

use a 76 - 78 caddilac eldorado caliper. they will mont up to the same holes and have a parkintg break lever. those are the ONLY years that will work. just gaoot fab the cable to pull right. no biggie.
