If I remember right bill said something like $850 a set but don;t quote me on that it's been a while.

The problem with the brakes for my 14 bolt is I guess a 14 bolt full floater dually rear end is a lil wider on the ends than a 14 bolt full floater single wheel rear... So the caliper bracets are 2" from where they are supposed to be to bolt up.. So we are gonna just weld the bracket to my housing. They send a 3/4" spacer to space the bracket out from the mounting location.. BUt mine is 2" off and I don;t trust putting the big of a spacer in there.. I'd rather weld it on..

Oh and there's the Disk brakes I was talkin about Matt....

They should? mine has a alum. space/adapter you could see it between the rotor and hub...it makes the two hub centric...the rotors center hole is about 1/2" bigger then the hub...so i dont think it will work with out the alum. spacer??

I think chassis tech makes some for these trucks. My freind has them on his 71 dually and he is tuckin 24s no problem and they are beefy as hell.

according to trevor there not the best arm around but there the only ones specificly for the c30 i could find on the net

eeeh about the dually axle being wider than the singe wheel axle .
they make the housingh i two sizes and if you use the housing of a 1 ton van and the spindles of a dually you have a breadtruck or chassis cab rearaxle , the only problem is that the weld on thingy on wish the brakeplate for the drumbrakes mount to is too close to the spindle .......... in case of converting to diskbrakes this might be a good thing allthough i havent seen it yet
