1970 c20 front drums for dana 44 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If you are doing the front, and if it does not have a traction aidding device your revolutions will be half as much because of the diff. easiest way is to leave both tires on the ground and chalk and have some one push the truck for one tire revolution and count the driveshaft revolutions. It very well could have factory 4.56s though, if it has not been molested there should be a tag held on by one of the dif cover bolts.

Welcome to the board.... I work in Fenton.

Did you try JC Whitney? I have gotten my rotors and drums from them for several years when needed. Just wondered if you tried them.

im still looking for these drums if anyone has please contact. i priced switching over to disc and its definitely not cost effective.
price of differential at least 175.00 then you got 200.00 for new gears so they match then you got 100.00 for gear installation kit then 300.00 for labor to set it up then you got front end parts to connect it up at prob 100.00 then you prob need new rotors and pads and possibly calipers plus hoses and u bolts could be upwards of 300.00 more which means looking at around 1200.00 total, thats about all truck is worth prob.id rather just find some drums so like said if anyone has please contact me
