Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Hello Jim
No I do not. Have you checked with Ruff Stuff Specialties, or DIY4x? You will want to be sure to get brackets specifically for a Dana 60 with the GM housing ends. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com http://www.diy4x.com

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I'm curious,
A '72 C10 with factory disk on the front, if I swap out to the Wildwood D52 calipers up front. Is it possible to reuse the factory front disk brakes with your brackets on the rear?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Since your '72 C10 has D52 calipers, yes they will bolt up to these brackets. You could likely use the hoses on the rear also.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I know it's been several months, and my project slowed so I forgot about it for awhile, but I'm finally to the point of installing my Eldorado calipers, and was wondering if you ever got that run of levers completed? If so what would a set go for?
Thanks, Drew

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I have had the levers done for some time now. It is the cable brackets that I just have not found the time to complete. I guess I'll have to bump my work week up from 70hrs. Let me see if I can get something done on those in the next couple days

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
That would be awesome!
Here are a few shots of the installation for others to see how things look. I am using the Eldorado brake pads and they fit just fine. First bracket that fits flush to the inside of the 4 bolt mounting flange ![]() Shot of the brackets installed, the large thick bracket has a recess on one side that should face the backside of the axle. This is to allow the caliper piston area clearance. ![]() A couple of shots with the calipers on, and one from the top down to show where it sits in relation to the axle. Side view ![]() Front view ![]() Top view ![]() Also, the wheels are stock Rallye 15x8 and they have plenty of clearance all around..

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
THanks for posting those pics Twisted, looks good
![]() I did make a little progress this evening. I finished cleaning up the laser cut parts, deburred them and got them formed. Hopefully tomorrow evening, I can get a set finished up and test fit them.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I'm ready for a set of levers and brackets as soon as you get time to put them together. Thanks for these,
not an easy find otherwise..

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Well, I've made some progress with the levers and cable brackets. However I discovered that the pair of calipers that I have are not quite the same. I did not realize that when I made the levers. So now the levers only work on one caliper and not the other.
Twisted78SS, it looks like the caliper in your pics above is like the one that I have that the levers won't work with. Can you post pics of both of your calipers, viewed from the shaft side?

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Hey Captainfab; I have a 94 Gmc ext.with the usual 10 bolt. We talked earlier(thro e-mails) and you told me that there is nothing yet fabbed for us (88-98) trucks. Well I am staring at my 1977 12 bolt rear diff. now and am guessing that this mod will now fit my new rear diff. setup once I install it !!! AmI correct now !!! I will be one happy guy if its true as I always wanted disca all way around on my truck !!! Thanks for responding and what are my choices if it does fit now !!! (Price too)

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Thanks for the pics Twisted78SS.
That shows what I was afraid of. The one caliper that I have and was using for mockup in designing the levers and cable brackets, does not have the extra nub cast into it as yours do. That drastically changes the position of the lever in relation to the cable brackets that I currently have made upSo it looks like it is on to plan B..

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Yes these rear disc brackets, as well as the other 2 for the 5x5 wheel stud pattern, will work with your '77 truck 12 bolt. The '64-'82 truck 12 bolts and the '80-'87 truck 10 bolts all have the same backing plate flange as well as the same brake offset.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Bummer for sure, I know how much time it takes, and how precious time can be when also working full time plus. If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.
I have a few sets of the later eldorado calipers as well, might look to see if I could modify the brackets off one set. Who knows.. But I'm not hopeful as they are pretty different ![]()

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Thanks Captainfab for the good news(for me) !!! I will have to put this mod on my to do list when I pick up my 12 bolt to work on sometime hopefully this winter. I will be looking for vendors to rebuild that 12 bolt too as I will need to replace all the seals and bearings and put in a posi unit with gears. Any info on that Please let me know !!! Captainfab---You have come thro again !! Thanks from me and I am sure there is alot more of that out there too !!!

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
I appreciate the understanding. Right now I have a couple very important rush jobs that I need to get done. I should be done with those in a couple more days.
The cable brackets that I have made are basically the same as on those '79-'85 Eldorado calipers you have. The issue is that on the '76-'78 calipers, with that extra nub, that moves the levers so close to the cable bracket, there isn't much room for movement of the lever. I'll try and get a couple pics tomorrow of what I'm talking about. I think that the '76-'78 Eldorado's must have had the cable brackets on the axle tube? I can most likely stretch the brackets that I have currently made, and have some more laser cut. I'll have to take a look at it Quote:

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Would one of these calipers work with your kit? It says 3121 is from a '76-'78 El Dorado

Yes those will work, if they are in your budget.

Re: D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets
Here are a couple pics of what I have fabricated so far, and the small issue I discovered. Upon closer inspection it appears that at some point the caliper without the extra casting that lowers the lever, has had that extra nub cut off. That may be a quick solution to those of you that are waiting for these levers and cable brackets.
