disc brakes for a d70 dually rear??

[supersize75k5]

Im looking around and reading and it aprears the dually rear has no brake kits,


so..


could I put standard 14 bolt hubs on this and use a 14 bolt kit?

and why wont kerts or others single rear wheel kits work on a dual wheel 70?

I would just look , but my 70 is still 2 hours away

It's the dual wheel that causes problems. If your not going to run dual wheels, Then our d70 kit should work. Haven't set it up but I see no reason it shouldn't.

There may also be a chance we could set up something a bit more custom.

no dual wheel, but I am planning on stock h1 rims

I just picked up a Dually D70 with the 14bolt hubs and it came with Kurts D70 brake brackets, just need some time to get back in the garage to work on it. I would like to see some pics of this setup!
I have the 3/4ton front rotors, need to find a set of calipers.

(this is the axle BlueBlazer62 started, sold to Emmet, then I picked it up...)

In the mid-90's I disc'd an Eaton in my C30 carhauler. I had a friend turn some 3" spacers to move my rotors inboard far enough to clear the duallie rims and bolted some 3/4 ton 4x4 front backing plates to the axle. My dad disc'd a 70hd by bolting some Dodge? front dual wheel spacers to move the wheels outboard. His truckbed is more than a foot wider than mine, tho.

Kert, please look into this seriously. I think there are enough of us here on CK5 that want to do this to D70HDs, that it would be profitable. The one stumbling block is that most/all of us are looking for a larger caliper/disc pad than the 3/4 ton caliper.
Thanks, Jimbo

for off road use i cant see why you would need bigger brakes, are all newer chevy dually rears only drum? assume so

Just knee jerk reaction, please review for feasibility but could an adapter be machined that would allow you to use the caliper mount, calipers & rotors of a D60 front? Something that bolts to the backing plate mount and then to the caliper mount with the appropriate spacing and what not.

I dont know how plentiful the caliper mounts are though.

Stock h1's, hmmmm. I'll see what I can come up with.

I always come up with great ideas after somebody else already invented it. It's really frustrating...
