"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Disc brake swap in a 3A Dana 44
« on: November 19, 2017, 08:51:04 PM »
Hey all,
Got an offset D44 that I would like to throw some discs on. Been searching the internet and have seen a few things here and there but nothing too solid.
Looking for the cheapest way to go about it, don't care about a parking brake.
I know of a company called Ruffstuff that makes a universal weld-on caliper mount. And I'm sure I could get away with some '73-'87 1/2 Chevy calipers and pads.
Curious on the rotors and studs though and how/ what those would actually attach to.
I'm used to converting full float axles and staking the rotor to the hub with the wheel studs. I've never converted a c-clip axle to disc brakes before.
