My rear is drums for now but my front I'm building is a HP Kingpin out of a 79 F350 with disc. I hate ford brakes though (running 8 lug 44 front now and they are the same). I plan on swapping chevy outters on mine because they are easier to clear 15" wheels and the caliphers actually bolt on instead of using this H piece and a weird flat spring.

Dodge is the only one that used vacuum. I'm using knuckles out from a Chevy 60. 70-80s model.

What do you want to know. I am running Yukon shafts in my rear and have a set of coming for the front 35 spline inner and outer with CTMs. I have a spool in the rear and haven't decided for the front but will prob run one in it as well. Mine doesn't see pavement except for rare occasions. I had a Detroit for the rear but sold it after it sat for a year on my garage floor. I prefer lockers and have run them in the past but for what I do a spool works fine and leaves money for other things.

Are talking cut the c off and put chevy knuckles or from the ball joint out? Just wondering what lockers are available for them and what spline they offer. What does Ctm stand for

My 60 doesn't have ball joints, it uses king pins and I'll be swapping the knuckles out. Stock fronts are 35 spline inner and 30 outer but I'm swapping in 35 spline outers. CTM is a brand of u-joint and you can get pretty much any locker you want for them except some of the lunch box type. Those don't tend to last too long in these axles anyway.
