Re: Dually

It'll be a bolt on and go since your 'Burb is already set up for disc brakes. The outer bearings are recessed into the hub, that's about the only difference.

Re: Dually

I can`t find part numbers for the dually rotors we tried raybestos , bendix , wagner and chevy, but chevy gave a part number 338301 but said it was discontinued none of the above vendors could cross it SO where can i get these rotors or part numbers and manufacturers


Thanks

Re: Dually

Anyone know if dually front rotors from a 73 up chevy or maybe from a dodge or ford with 6.5 bolt circle 9/16 studs fit on a 72 3/4 ton suburban spindle or what possible spindles/swap would i need to swap out to make it dually in front apparently 72 dually rotors are no longer available

Thanks for any help on this
Guy

Re: Dually

Don't know if you got an answer to this but when I swapped mine over to 1 ton I used the following.
Use your stock a-arms from the 3/4 ton. The bottom ball joint is the same for 3/4 ton and 1 ton 65-87. Change the upper to the 73 and up ball joint and 73-87 1 ton spindles will bolt up. Use 73-87 3/4 ton inner and outer tie rods and sleeves with the stock 72 3/4 ton center link and idler/pitman arms and you should be in business. If ya already got it done this is redundant! Hope this helps.

Re: Dually

I would aslo recommend what Crew said because down the road the 73-up parts will be easier to find and cheaper
