Re: eaton rear axle

just get a 14BFF axle from a 2000+ chevy w/ factory rear disc.....its tuned for the back end and has proper drum parking brakes unlike those aftermarket kits that just use front calipers from whatever car. you'd just have to fab the proper mounts for the trailing arms, track bar and shocks. the 2000+ 14BFF has an 11.5 ring gear and is massive compared to the 10.5 ring gear 14BFF's in 70's to 90's trucks. i may some day just swap the gm rear disc brakes onto my HO52 on my 72 burb. it will be a neat combination of modern and classic.
