DANA 44 CALIPER BRACKET HELP!

i got a 67 f250 on a 79 frame. dana 44 in front and i just got a donor axle from a 79 f150 because i needed the caliper brackets. 8lug rotors and hubs came off my truck as it sits but didn't have calipers or brackets. was told the f150 brackets would work with single piston caliper but the new rotors and hubs don't fit the brackets. Do i need different brackets? do i have dana 60 knuckles? need some help figuring out whats going on.

I don't think half ton brackets and calipers will work with 8 lug rotors if that's what your asking. D44 and D60 brackets for 3/4 and 1 ton use the same dual piston caliper and bracket.

That's what I thought. But I can't seem to find caliper brackets for 3/4 ton. I found the brackets just not the plate that mounts behind the spindle is what I need help finding. I know the bracket needs to attach itself to the plate but I don't know where to find a pair of them

I see what you mean and without buying a complete axle it might be tough.

You took somebody's word without verifying? Jeez.

Th knowledge base and wealth of experience in this here forum would have told you that they would not work.

Caveat emptor

The caliper mounting brackets for 1976/79 F250 4WD, 1979 F350 4WD with dual piston calipers are shown as 2B292 in pic.

F100/150 4WD with single piston calipers will not work on an F250/350 4WD
