A few questions, on possibility of upgrading a '71 Dana 60 12x2.5 brake to 13 inch drums. Thinking of two/three possibilities while keeping stock axles:
1). We're their Dana 60 applications that used 13" drums which can be switched to '71; and
2). Can Dana 70 13" brakes be switch, all from backing plate out. Maybe 80s Suburbans?
3). Other option, e.g. 70s Fords 3/4 ton that used 12x3 brake shoes, chevy dually brakes
Thanks,
Les
