Searched as best as I could, but didnt find what I was looking for. Does anyone know if the disk brake brackets from diy4x would work on a van 14bff? And if not, is there a bracket kit that would work with this rear end?

Yes it will work, the only difference between truck and van width axle is the van axle is 3" wider than a truck axle. The mount is in the same location from the hub so no problems.

Thats what I was thinking, but when I talked to Kert today, he wasnt sure if they would work or not. Thanks for the info!!

got to err on the side of caution, since I don't have th van axl to compare too.
 
Kert, i have a van 14ff sitting in the garage if you need any measurements from it.
 
my van axle uses regular srw hubs and brakes, and its similar in everyway other than length to a srw axle. the tubes and shafts are just longer.
