Will it work??? I have a 00 classic but have axle swap done. I am now runnin a d60 out of 70s model f100 which has the ford 9" axle tubes it does have d44 drums and backing plates on it now. I have heard crown Vic might be better but don't know don't want to waste money.

When you find out what you need, let me get you a price on the parts. If I can get the parts from the JY. But I do believe you need custom caliper brackets & Chevy 1/2 ton calipers.

I am wondering, I have an 85xj with D35 so I think that is without C clips, is there any problems with this conversion to consider, or is it just bolt up in place of the original drum setup?
Will have to consider something like this if it is not to complicated, right now I have to plan far ahead for each stop I make lol.

I can get you the Crown Vic parts because it's a easy swap due to not having to re-drill the holes. I'm pretty sure wheel bolt pattern has no effect on the brakes.

Sorry I meant drilling the backing plate bolts to fit. What about the rubi spacer everyone is talking about. Are you stocking those yet. My e-brake cables still factory will they work or have to use the crown ones
