The caliper mounts are part of the knuckle. The D50 TTB knuckle will not swap with a D60. However, a D50 solid knuckle will swap with a ball joint D60 up till 05.

Thanks guys for all of the info. Now I need to learn more about my transfer case and rear differential, axles and drive shfts and u-joints,oem bushings, getting poly bushings, and replace some worn stuff, so will be mission capable in case some Illegal Ebola is sent to my community, etc.I really just want to get everything to tighten up the truck anyway.

The caliper mounts are bolted on to the knuckle, not cast as part of it.

My suggestion is that I believe the old and new style caliper mounts will interchange.

Not really relevant to the original poster though.
