Re: 3/4 ton disk brakes options?

I'd scrounge up a 73/88 something (square body) 3/4 ton 4x4 front rotor. At this time you don't care if it is real good because it's for seeing if things work. Maybe a buddy with a 4x4 has an old one laying around or your buddy at the brake shop can save one for you.

You would have to match that up with your hub and then figure out how to build a caliper bracket that will bolt to the spindle. You might get one of the outfits that make the caliper brakets for rear disk swaps for 4x4's to make it or you might get one of them to make the bracket with just a center hole for the spindle shaft that you can drill to fit.

Think this one with the hole for the axle and the holes to bolt it to the axle left blank so you could do the fitting. That would mean that they just didn't do those steps with their cnc cutter and you had to make it fit.

The one above is for my 71 GMC 3/4 ton with a Dana 60 rear end. It uses the 73-80 4x4front rotors and caliper.

I can trace you a pattern if you like and you can cut one out of plywood or some other material about 3/8 thick to see if you can make something like that work before spending money on it.
