Dana 60 Rear disc finally in--Plus

Well I got some time in today to get my 60 kit up under my '72..

What a huge difference in stopping power, smooth and stops on a dime. took about 2 1/2 hours to do..Alright about 5 with the BS'ing and beers.
Figured while i was in there i would check out the rear gears and see if a truly had 3.54's. Sure enough I did, but got a plus that I have a trac-loc posi that looks pretty fresh.. Well any way pulled out the 3.54's and put in 4.10's..
I run a 700r4 so 4.10's will be alright. But what do you guys do for the Speedo.. I would like to get it back to normal if at all possible..

Here is a couple pics of the brakes

Not sure if I'll be pressing my luck with posting prices on here, but you can get to the Blackbird's site from my signature or this Link

Looks nice, you got any pics of your truck to post?

I think that the prices look pretty good, Really good since i have a 71 and finding drums is next to impossible.

Thanks for posting
David

Here are some pics from when I first joined the site..
The only difference in the truck is right now I have white spokes and snow tires, plus a newer chevy steering wheel..
And the brakes
