Found later model Ford brake brackets from Oreillys. Just need to figure out wich Ford spindle I need to redrill in order to make everything line up. Or use the spindles I have and space them out some.

This is what I need. From Parts Mike.
arms r done
I'll try and pick them up Friday, if not Sat. Thanks alot.
is it a 99-04 axle?

93. But building parts for 99+ D60s seems like the buisness to get into, as they are probably a whole lot easier to find these days.
I came back up today to put some of it back together. Here is the final axle build list:
93 Ford D60
4.88 Yukon gears
Detroit
GLO cover
Stock inner shafts
5-806x Spicer non-greaseable joints
Yukon 4340 35spline outers
Spicer upper/lower balljoints (installed then removed the cheapo Oreilly brand)
SOLID balljoint knuckles machined for high steer
SOLID high steer arms
SOLID forged 'Chevy' style spindles w/ new bearing and seals
SOLID 'Chevy' brake caliper brackets
SOLID forged wheel hubs
rotors are Chevy, from a 80ish K20
calipers are from a 80ish K10
wheel studs - i do not know the application, but I have a PN
1.5" steering links, heims
PSC assist ram
Need to pick up some bearings/races tomorrow
I haven't purchased drive flanges yet, but SOLID's are $200, so I will probably buy those.
I replaced the center pins on the leaf springs. Both were bent and all u-bolts were loose. Replaced all u-bolts on the front axle as well. NAPA has a good selection of them that they can get in a day, but they are stupid pricey. $27 a piece.:eek:
The tie rod has a wave to it, but should work fine. The only fab left will be making a longer drag link and making the mounts for the ram.
Spent way more than I intended, which is why it still has stock inners but I have wheeled it pretty good for 6+ years on 36s and only broke 2 stubs. One on a hard drivers side roll with the tire spinning fast in 4LO and the other in a wieird situation, stationary, with the wheel cocked, winching AColman up a hill at Shiloh. Disassembly would reveal that it was fractured prior.
Anyhow, hopefully Clarke can help me get the d link squared away and maybe get a rear bumper on it. I would really link to get it street legal. I have a plan to lower the rear about 2" as well. ONce it is all up and running again in a couple weeks, I am thinking of maybe a Clayton weekend trip if anyone is down. Also thinking about a some sort of beach trip, but not sure what is out there.
Your work looks pretty sweet and I'm definitely down for any beach trip.:gigem:
sounds like you got the front brake kit that lets you run 15" rims......
I havent mounted up the caliper yet to see how it lines up, but it should. If the single piston Chevy calipers are not cutting it, I can removed the Chevy brake bracket, bolt on a Ford bracket to the bosses on the knuckle, and run a 3/4-1 ton Ford dual piston caliper.
with the k-series rotor and caliper it will fit 15" rims but you have to grind the caliper some. I have those brakes on both my front and back and had to grind them both.
he has h1 wheels
