- How I installed a 90's, 14-bolt, semi-float axle in my 1971 C20 pickup. This swap maintains the original axle width (65 1/4") and adds 13" disc brakes. All parts are GM so will be reliable and easy to maintain.
*Axle = 1988 - 2000 Chevy & GMC light duty 3/4 ton with drum brakes. 2WD and 4WD are same width if 13" drum brakes.
*Disc Brakes = Early 2000's Chevy & GMC light duty 3/4 ton. Calipers mounted on back side so parking brake cables route correctly.
Other necessary parts:
1. Axle perches cut for 3 3/8" axle tube
2. Laser cut brake mounting flanges (1/2" thick)
3. Laser cut backing plate concentric rings (3/16" thick)
4. 3/16" custom brake line kit and 3/16 to 1/4 adapters at distribution block
5. 2X LH brake hose from 2001 C2500
6. 2X LH parking brake cable from 2001 C2500
7. Dorman wheel studs, P/N 610-182. These are 1/4" longer than stock allowing for 1/4" wheel spacers when necessary.
Notes:
1. Requires 1/4" spacers to fit 1973-1987 Chevy 16x6.5, as well as Ford 16x7. Else, calipers interfere with inside of rim.
2. The original brake proportioning valve results in about 70/30 with this setup. Rear brakes lock up in panic stops. Look for a future video on an adjustable prop valve install. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great coverage of the swap. 👍 I like that bedside toolbox.😁
It is handy considering there is no room behind the seat back. Provides storage for jumper cables, ratchet straps, hub cap tool, etc.
Great swap!
Well done, thanks for the detail!
Appreciate it!
Did you ever get carpet in the interior? Great build!
Maybe you saw the video where I put down the KilMat sound deadener? Carpet removal was just temporary to lay the tiles.
With the new axle and driveline angles, it's pretty quiet inside the cab. Definitely makes it more comfortable as a daily.
Is the ho52 for sale? Mine has a 5.13 gear, ive been trying to find a 4.10 for a year now
Yes, I do plan to sell it. It's turnkey and ready to go. Has the rare 4.10 and Eaton locker. I overhauled it about 14000 miles ago. All new bearings and seals (no china garbage), new drums, shoes, hardware and lines. I added ceramic bar magnets to catch any wear material and have run 75w90 synthetic. Only bad thing is the ring gear makes some noise at highway speeds and that drove me crazy because I'm really picky.
You could bolt it in over a weekend and be driving to work on Monday.
@@BriansGarageUSA I would be very interested in purchasing it off of you when the time comes for you to sell it
