I have a 1992 F700 with a Rockwell FDS-75 front axle. It has Gunite D6113 ,rockwell part # 3128e265, brake rotors on it. Any help anyone could give me finding one, any useable condition, would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at raybestos part number 8514... fits six lug rocs... is that what you have?... my fds 75 f600 axle uses it

 

I wish it was but that doesn't match mine. The ones on my truck are U shaped not hat shaped and the bolt circle is different. Thank you for the reply though!

 

Can you please post up a picture of yours... is it ten lug?
Also...
contact numberdummy (bill) on this site

He is the master of master ford parts locator for all of us...

Rarely can I beat his ability to find stuff

That raybestos number I gave you fits B600s... and conversions

It appears you are not alone

I might try a call to Boyce...sometimes they have oddball civilian stuff around

Green Sales is an option with a ford part number... as is contacting Arvin Merritor directly for help
https://www.meritor.com/productsands...r_airdisc.aspx

There are processes for metal spray..I googled it and I have no idea as to whether its possible and then remachining the rotor

I feel for you
My 67 f600 was a bear to find obsolete brake drums for.. and Im holding the scrapped set I have as backups

My 79 f600 4 x 4 needed a drum and I found the last NOS one in the US in a dealers barn next to the dealership after a year of searching.. and it wasnt cheap

I have contacted Gunite and Meritor. It was a dead end.

I am a new member here and don't know how to contact someone, can you tell me how?

I contacted Green Sales, they got back and asked the year and that was the last I heard from them.

The rotor isn't bad, it's cracked.

I was a tool and die maker for 30 years. I'm close to making one.

 

I won't be able to help you until this Friday (4/21/2017), as my microfiche parts catalogs are in storage.

 

Welcome to the site... many great and helpful people here and you can access many good resources

If you look in this large truck forum a couple of posts down you will see a post by number dummy (bill)

Bill is a master ford parts guru of thirty plus years and still here accessing every database available for Fords to help us keep our trucks on the road

We consider him invaluable and a cornerstone of this forum

Im sorry you struck out... but Im not surprised. Arvin Merritor bought rockwell but didn't take all the old stock and it sounds like your rotor is uber rare. Im sorry to say but you might be doing some kind of rotor conversion should you not be able to access one



I think you may already know this

There is a last ditch solution but it requires a weldor with great skill in tig or nickel arc rod

It is possible to weld cast iron successfully with proper preheat / post heat procedures, proper v grooving etc etc

Im not sure I would want to depend upon such a critical part.
I have nickel rod welded cast iron/ cast steel alloy about 20-30 times, and tig welded it maybe a handful of times in my welding career and only about half of those had great longevity, mostly exhaust manifolds

There is spray welding too... Ive never done it but Ive watched it.. I dont think it applicable to a heat cycle critical part.

It is the heat cycles that the metal goes through that creates porosity and contamination and difficulty to weld successfully. A rotor is very high quality and density.. it might work

I wish you best of luck

I responded to the OP in post #6.

A couple of sources might be: C.W. Carter Co. in Los Angeles, or Franklin Truck Parts in the City of Industry.

I doubt that Marty at SoCal Truck Parts (323-587-3144) can help, but one never knows.
