FYI....3/4 ton rear disk brake kits - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stumbled across this site while at Pirate4X4.com. It looks like these guys sell rear disk brake kits for Dana 60's, Corporate/Eatons, and 14 bolts. Prices look reasonable too.

It certainly looks good, anyone have any experience with this product? I'd be inclined to pick one of them up when I'm over there at the end of the month. Other options for a 4X4 to mount disc brakes? If you didn't use the emergency brake type, what would be the other options for emergency brakes?

I've seen emergency brakes off the transfer case rear yoke.

I maybe should have put disc on my 4x4 when i had it apart. insted i opted to leave the 4 wheel power drum brakes.

There are cheaper brakets that are sold on the colorado k5 board. after buy the brakets all need is the rotors and calipers off of a 71-75 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4

DINS, do you happen to have a link or a web address of one of the companies that carries the mounting brackets? I'm very interested in something like that. Thanks.

DINS 1 · 06-12-2002, 10:21 PM

I also have a page of info that uses the backing plates off of a dana 44 3/4 ton front and making a spacer.

DINS,
Thanks for the link, I looked through that website for quite awhile last night, there's some pretty interesting stuff for sale on there. I noticed alot of crossover parts for sale.

You can get a small line switch that goes in your brake line for an emergency brake from JC Whitney

DINS 1 · 06-13-2002, 11:26 PM

There are parts to put a Ebrake on the drive shaft. I just can't find the link.

Ive installed cadillac rear disk brakes on a Dana 60 before . Cost me all of $80 from the junkyard and $50 to Dutchman motorsports in Portland Oregon to redrill the bolt pattern on the disks. I had to make another caliper bracket but it took me about 2 hours with some 3/16" steel plate.
