Author	Topic: Front Brake caliper conversion, single to double
4Zsnow Journeyman Posts: 51 From: Western Washington, USA Registered: May 2002	posted 06-04-2002 09:41 AM I have a '81 4x4. It has the single piston caliper on the front disc brakes. The 3/4 ton p/u came with a dual piston caliper. Has anyone tried to mount the anchor and caliper from the 3/4 to the 1/2? Sounds like a long shot, but If the bolt patern is the same on the end of the axle and the calipers will fit in 15in wheels.....I would be willing to go for it.

A nice idea but I'm sure you'd be stepping into a deep pile of mess by trying it. No-Go I'm afraid. IP: Logged

Just another reason I can give to my wonderful wife why I need to go with DANA 60's.......hehe thanks guys. Thanks for your help, 4Z IP: Logged
