Tom that is what I thought but doing some searches on DRW I ran into some things that didn't add up. I'm going to start an other thread since what I was looking at was 2wd DRW rotors.

Wes It is good to see ya brother! So are you working on the 5ton military trucks for yourself or customer? Them parts for the 5 tons sound to heavy for me. LOL Well glad to hear your old E99 is hanging in there. How many miles you got on the 38R and the AC's now?

So here you go with the pics that I promised and sorry I'm posting so late had a lot of thing to do afterwords and was have some issues in my hubs that I'll post in a new thread.

They are not the 14.5 that I was hoping for as you guys mentioned earlier when I ordered them I assumed they were the later models may still be not sure at this point and need to find the old rotors as I did keep them just buried in the trailer.

So here is the width at 13"



Here is the thickness at 1.5"

Great and thanks for your time. I didn't think so either but maybe for the 450 or 550 they use the wider diameter rotors. I believe the late model rotors dept is just a little wider then the early model and if used on the early model thing will rub.

yea bonanza its about a 1/4 in difference in total height its not the thickness like scotty is measuring its from the hub plate to the back edge of the rotor. and it hits the brkt. wes

Wes Does your wife let you park that Monster at the house?/ The neighbors got love that at 6am. LOL

Personal I am sad to hear you parted ways with the hot rod '65 that was a old school Bada$$. So I'm guessing the 5T stays at the shop. I'm sure it is also a real money maker around the shop. It has to be good for business besides people can't miss that thing on the road or in front , around the side or anywhere near the shop.

Take care and God bless brother.
