Ok Yall I'm using this info to do my rear!!!

I've started collecting parts,, I'm going to use STOCK chevy dual wheels 16.5x8 ... Using disc brake conversion by Dremu?? I think......The one with the 03 rear deep dish rotor... I found rotors at napa,autozone,and checker all matching Part#'s and crossed reference to make sure....As for caliper clearence going to use spacer like used on the circle track link from earlier....I'm pretty sure BLACKBIRDS use's same rotor and spacer in their kit....

Going to use regular calipers ( non e-brake) for now...unless I can find some for free!!:) :)

And for caliper bracket's a race car part's manufacture has some weld on bracket's for chevy rotor's on 2" or 3" tube......Depends on size of rotor used ie: 11" or 13" etc....
Will keep all posted and pics to follow soon.......:D;):laugh:

I'll be interested to see how your rotors and calipers fit under the wheels, even with spacers. If you have a minute post up the rotor part number, would you?

I was going to use the spacers like in this photo...

Napa # 86992 Price = $96.72

Checker Auto #56992 Price =$61.99

Autozone #55075 Price = $64.99

I double checked and crossreferenced part#s they are all same rotor made at the same manufacture plant in CANADA!!!

That's the same rotor I'm using, the Express van one. :dunno: I'll be interested see to how your caliper/rotor fitment goes with that.

Dremu...:bow:

Stay tuned for photo's when I get it done.... Come to find out my rear 14btff is a wider van rear... So I'm looking for a drw hub to swap out and see if It will make it "narrower"?? Any Ideas.... Got the wheels and tires...Wheels going to get blasted and painted... The rotor's fit and haven't decided if I need to use spacer by the hub or not yet.....We'll see when I get calipers..... Did you change your studs to drw studs or use the same ones??:crazy::D Any help/info would be great!!!!
 
To answer your email, hubs can be had at the pick-n-pull or in the forums here. Yet another reason to cough up the $25 -- I've saved that dozens of times over in deals here.

IIRC, I used stock DRW studs, but honestly I don't remember for certain. I had both axles' outers torn down and was doing some serious Frankenstein mixing and matching, so I'd have to go tear the thing down and measure to be certain... something I am loathe to do since it seems to work finally :haha:

Pic-n-pull??? Whats that?? another forum?? Cough up the $25 for what?? Please explain.... Did you find some place with cheap parts ??!!:confused:
 
Pick N Pull is what the "junk yards" (where you go find and pull your own parts) are called around here...

For $25 you can have a year long membership here... so you can search...


On a related note go check out the latest issue of Truckin'... the cover truck is project Power Storm F250... It's Fabtech's new tow rig. An F250 converted to a dually rear end tucked under the SRW bed...

pic-n-pull salvage yards, you go wander around and pull your own parts. Several in town. and $25 for a membership on here, well worth it.

The other answers are dead on. Though the $25 might also cover your copay for medication to reduce your use of the exclamation mark and maybe a textbook on proper English :haha:

And Avery, do you have any idea how the outer wheels attach to the inner on that .... bling... thing? They're not your typical dually wheel by the looks, so there must be a big honking spacer in there. (But then, how the heck do you bolt it up when you can't get between the tires?)
