1 ton axle swap questions
3 Attachment(s)
My 1970 is finally going to get paint on it, so I'm getting my parts together so I can get to work on it when it gets home.
I have a Dana 60 and a 14BFF out of a 1986 Chevy 1 ton, flat bed, single wheel truck. The Dana 60 measures 32" from spring perch to spring perch. The 14BFF measures 40" from perch to perch. The 14BFF is 54" from backing plate to backing plate. Is a disc brake kit going to go on this, and is it too narrow? Anything I need to know, or get, to make these axles go in? Thanks for any input, Dan |

another angle..
I know there has to be some threads on this, just can't seem to find them |
Re: 1 ton axle swap questions
The disk brake conversion should not change youre wheel width.
The end product should end up being wider than youre stock 1/2 ton width. You should come over to the 4x4 section. We don't get alot of traffic over there and youre post wont get lost so easy. 4x4 forum Edit: I thought this post was in the 67-72truck thread, I didn't realize it was in the blazer thread. I almost think the Blazer forum and 4x4 forum should be the same but that would eliminate the 2 wheel drive Blazer guys. |

I guess my next step is to get them cleaned up and start ordering some brake parts. The glove box tag says code GT5 rear axle 4.10 ratio :metal: (I love all the info from this board!!!) |
