front disk swap over view - broncomania - 05-25-2008
i bought the toms bronco master cylinder / booster combo. i got it for 4 wheel disc but they offer one for disc/drum also. you should be able to buy a stock prop. valve at a parts store. just get one from a year model with that application.

Will 6 bolt spindles off any other chevy dana 44 work? Clarifing do they have to come from a blazer?

Sorry I missed your question. Spindles from 74-76 chevy truck or blazer only. The other years will bolt up but the bearings are not going to work. I can usualy find them new for around $100.

If you can get some big bearing spindles you can have them turned down at any machine shop - probably charge you $50-$100 for the set. Then you've got basically a new spindle.

Thanks matt that eases my mind I pick up to sets of spindles and a pare of backing plates. What's the best thing to for the cailper do I rebuild them myself(how hard is it worth it) or buy rebuilt one. If I buy rebuilt where's the best place to get them?

I'd just buy new ones. Not worth the time and effort to try and rebuild yourself. Most of the chain parts houses sell cardone brand products. I've never had any problems with them.

I'd buy (or take with me if you already have it) the bearing that you know you need (the smaller one) and you can check with it as to whether or not it's small or big bearing spindle.
