Someone needs to step up and try it. I'd gladly tell everyone it works, and my worries are just from hanging out with Murphy constantly

hey DIY4X sells a kit FOR $140 and says that you have to use there roters, and great lake off road wants $79 for brackets that sounds kinda expensive for brackets

and from auto zone for the eldorado rear calipers its &116 with the core included

An electric line lock will get hot with current going through them. The b&m one I bought for my S10 said 1 min of on time max. Just my .02.

Only one catch- You have to source your own E-brake brackets.... already checked that route

Looking at the DIY4X site they show mounting plates different for the Dually 70....

I'm going to contact them directly today and see what ,other than the mounting bracket is different....?

Great thread.....And I will be using e-brake style calipers....Guess I gots to start looking for Caddies in the local yard.....

What years' do these need to come off...Any one know...?

Thanks, John.

twizted enginering doesn't have anything for a dana 70 that i could finde i really would like to do this swap, but i can't hardly finde the stuff for the caddy's rear calipers and working e-brakes would be really nice siince my inspection mechanic(my uncle) said he wouldn't pass it unless the cables were hooked up
