I had to make the axle bracket for the dbl caliper.i use the mopar green bearing axle ends but if you use a ford end i think thay have a dbl bracket but i dont have a part #.i think it was Dramperformance that said he would make a dbl bracket if someone wanted. PS: i use 15" convo pro rim and clear brakes. Last edited by Clanton; 05/29/12 11:57 PM. GOTBOOST!New improved with Victor heads. http://www.enginelabs.com/mopar-big-bloc...t-of-necessity/
