8-lug conversion part numbers, prices, etc

[goldwing2000]

Don't know if this has been posted before but I did a search and didn't find anything. Sorry if it's a repeat.

Just bought the parts for a 6-lug to 8-lug conversion and thought I would share the info I found for the cheapest places to get parts.

Hub/Rotor Assembly
From: RockAuto.com
Brand: Raybestos Red Line
Part Number: 56287R
Price: $41.89 plus shipping ($9.95 for two)

3/4 Ton Backing Plates
From: GMPartsDirect.com
Brand: AC Delco
Part Numbers: 14023421 & 14023422
Price: $62.15 plus shipping ($27.34 for both)

Everything else swaps over from 1/2 ton (all 10-bolts, late model D44s). Brakes, spindles, knuckles, etc.
Rock Auto also has spindle needle bearing kits (bearing and oil seals) for only $8.70 plus shipping each. That's $5 less than NAPA, including shipping charges.
I got the rest of the new seals and bearings from my local parts place but if you're really cheap, all the 1/2 ton stuff swaps over for those, too.

Yeah, I saw your post and tried to contact you but I can't PM and you don't have your settings to allow e-mail. Sorry!

Bump cuz I'm sick of digging for this info when I need it.

They alt to sticky this. Heck, thats so much cheaper than buying a 3/4 front axle or buying the swap parts from another party.

Unfortunately, the price on the hub/rotor assys went up some time in the past three days.

On Tuesday, they were $40, now they're now $60.

Still cheaper than most places, though.

Rock Auto must have gotten wise.

I can get the hub and rotor assm. through work, so I think it will cost me less than that. Ok just checked it out for myself and the place is in NC.

Yes, I do.

And yes I am.

I almost stopped by your house today... but I got lazy.

Crap, I'm bringing one way back from the dead, but how many have done it this way?

I see the backing plates are different, but are the calipers?

Calipers from dana 44 to 10bolt are interchangable as are the 1/2 to 3/4 tons. The only difference is the thread type for the break line between the 44 and 10b. The 1/2 to 3/4t is an internal difference thats all. Physically it doesnt matter what you do. I have 10b calipers on my 44.

Well, that answers that. Thanks!
