This guy is using a 14bolt with hmmwv wheel. Brakes are from a 99-08 chevy

Could this be done on D70 and use standard 16'' wheels.

Thats would be a nice setup if a person can make it work.

There are all sorts of threads on this subject and several companies make kits. Just google "dana 70 disk brakes"

They all use the crappy eldorado ebrake calipers or no ebrake at all.

The internal drum ebrake is a much better design and lasts longer.

While I agree the internal drum e-brake is a better design there is nothing wrong with the eldorado calipers. The single most important thing with them is to properly adjust them before connecting the brake hoses and bleeding them.

Install them, with the spring off the e-brake arm, ratchet them up until tight, reinstall the spring, connect the brake cables and adjust the e-brake then install the brake hoses and bleed. Then recheck e-brake adjustment.

I worked on many back in the day and they used the same caliper type on the anniversary model Trans-Ams

The caddy brakes are fine on car. flat land parking

But no good for a truck that launches boats.

They can barely hold the weight of the truck.

The link takes you to a thread that give you another link. The guy built a setup using "I think all Dodge pieces". My puter crapper out so I'll research further later. It seem he did alot of fabbing and designing to use off the shelf parts "almost". Cool setup though even better to have a spare rearend to do the mods on and not having to rush.

So the durms are better than disc brakes in stopping?

sls001

No - the discussion is on the type of emergency brake... most all modern rear disk brakes have drum type e-brakes inside of the rotor hat.

Guys instead of trying to make the e-brake work on rear disc conv. why not use something like a hurst line lock? That would lock the discs on front and release with the touch of a button.
