Im referring to brake parts, drums , shoes, wheel bearings, etc. I better mention that it is a dualie. Im hoping parts for a 3600 3/4 ton are the same. I knew somebody out there would know.

Persons in the know will be along shortly.

Your truck probably has fourteen inch diameter rear brake drums, these drums have been extremely hard to find for quite a while. Many guys have chosen to replace the rear axle with a more modern one that has available brake parts, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | GM ff 14 bolt axles are cheap, plentiful, several modern ratios.

Also, do something about the fronts. I dont want anything to do with wheels that have a lock ring. How about the running gear out from under a 3/4 ton? one piece rims of course. Any ideas of what trucks that have what I need are greatly appreciated. I might even build it as a 3 on the tree if I find the right 3rd member.
