I have in my garage at this moment a Dana 60-2 rear that is factory equipped with 5 lug axles with a 5 on 5.5" bolt circle. The axle tubes are 2.785" in diameter rather than the more common 3" or 3.125". This unit is equipped with a PowerLOck carrier and 4.10 gears. The OEM use was in the Jeep Gladiator pickups from the early 60's. This not a floating axle unit, it is just like a car but with 12" brake drums and requires 16" wheels. I had plans to use it in my Ramcharger build, but used a 3/4 ton truck housing. This needs to find its way back to a Jeep

i plan on looking into a way to do a budget disc brake conversion next. ive seen some guys run honda disc brakes but i cant imagine that being very cheap.

I know that on ford 9" truck rears, you can use front bronco rotors 79ish? and brackets from speedway motors for gm metric calipers. The late 80s front wheel drive caddy rear calipers bolt to the brackets. They have a cable parking brake. Since you are using a 5 1/2 bolt pattern it may work.
