Ford Dana 60 Rear Disc Brake Bracket Pair, 77-84

Ford Dana 60 Rear Disc Brake Bracket Pair (’77–’84)

Swap your rear drums for discs on early Ford Dana 60 axles with a proven bracket setup.

The early full-float Ford Dana 60 axles (1977–1984 F-Series) used different brakes and axle flanges than later models, so they need a specific disc bracket. These brackets target those years and may work on some newer D60s with the same flange style. E-Series axles typically require modification. Some versions have a larger flange diameter that won’t clear these brackets (radiused for 3-15/16"). Check your 4-bolt flange: if spacing is the same vertically and horizontally, you need the ’76-and-older kit.

Like all our disc brackets, these are cut from 3/8" plate for strength. They’re built around ’73–’87 Chevy ¾-ton 4x4 front rotors and calipers; you may need to open the rotor throat by about 0.10"—an easy job for a brake shop. Brackets mount inboard of the 4-bolt flange with the bend toward the wheel. Requires single steel wheels, minimum 15" diameter, maximum 4" backspacing. For single rear-wheel axles.

Note

Bolt-on installation. For full-float axles only — not for semi-float Dana 60s. Ensure wheel studs drop freely into the rotor; do not press studs in. If hub studs are oversized, drill rotor holes accordingly. Maintain at least 5/8" lug nut thread engagement once the wheel is mounted.
