High Pinion Dana 60 Front Axle

I wanted to use Chevy style brakes so I had custom brake brackets machined. The were first flame cut from 1/2 plate. There were then taken to a machinist to have them drilled to match the spindle bolt pattern and the bolts for the calipers. I had a bit of a problem fitting stock chevy single piston calipers as the large piston was hitting the knuckle. I found that a Howe Twin piston caliper used the same mounting as the stock chevy but the twin piston was 1/4" smaller in the piston area. With a small amount of grinding on the knuckle this fit perfectly. Also they have a slightly greater braking power than a stock single piston and have a better feel to them.
