You should just need some mid 70s K20 front rotors and calipers. If you want an ebrake use 77 Eldorado calipers instead. They're a little more pricey though. I'd just use a set of weld on caliper mounts from www.ruffstuffspecialties.com. Dan is a good guy and has treated me well on my orders. He doesn't list any bolt on brackets specific for the Dodge 60, so weld ons may be your only choice, but give him a call. He may have what you need. I've got an early set of his 14 bolt brackets. Thats pretty much the standard 3/4-1ton rear axle disk brake setup.

ok so i run front calipers and rotors.
Thats cool, really didnt plan on an ebrake.
So these are the rotors i need? and do you think that price is both sides or just one side?

I thought I saw where he said something about 39s or 40s, but I tend to just skim some of these posts. If I didn't I'd go crosseyed.
If I didn't have the D60 sitting here I'd think more closely about a spidertrax. I like the idea of the RCV axles since joints are $300ea, and if I go with a reguarl 4340 axle it'll probably run $1000+ for them, so in the end for an extra couple hundred I've got a better joint. The only thing I'm not sure on is if the 2k price tag is for 4340 or 300M.
The build of the truck itself has gone nowhere. The shop was put up last week, and they're coming to pour the floor sometime next week. After I get the building finished out I'll probably start in on it. I was looking at a Bent chassis, but I need to see what price he wants for the one I'm looking at. Maybe I'll just throw the D44 I have sitting here under the ranger and wheel it as is. The other build is gonna take forever

You have the numbers handy ? Whats the price difference ?
Man, we need to pour new floor bad. One of the lifts has torn a freaking bolt out of the ground. Still got 5 on that side....
But, no more large trucks. Just tiny little Heeps and my Zuk. Sucks. But to stop the shop and get new floor.... just can't do it. Didn't know you had another build besides the ranger. Right on. This **** always takes forever, unless your one of those bling bling ****ers with **** load of money and sponsors.
trim: I might be able to get you those parts a little cheaper, even with shipping. Let me look into it if ya haven't ordered yet.

Their site just lists $1995 for the D60 CV shafts, and then on the order form the have a box to check for 4340 and one for 300M.
The plan originally was to build the Ranger and then I decided that I would have little to nothing left of the truck. At that point I decided to do a V8 powered tube chassis. Though the guy I sold my D44 parts to wants to upgrade to 60s and since he still owed me for the axle and parts he suggested that he give me my axles back. If that happens I'll slap them under the Ranger quick some weekend and beat on it for awhile while I get the money together for the other rig.

I was out at buchanans mudfest in robertsville, mo over the weekend. It was the first time I've taken my truck out. It was a blast and I luckily didn't break anything too serious. I noticed though that while running through some smaller pits my rear end would slide out to one side, usually out to the left. It made it a little hard to control a couple times. Any ideas why? The only thing I thought of was cuz there wasn't any weight in the back.
