scarce components???
Hi there,
I have a 76 F250 4x4, and I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding brake hardware for it..
My D44 HD up front has Discs, with the Dayton twin piston calipers.. I can't seem to find rotors for it.. Integral Hub style, for the larger Warn hubs.
In the rear, I'm dealing with integral hub Drums, i.e. i need to remove the bearings to take the drums off.. from a Dana 60 rear diff.
If anyone could hook me up with any kind of part number, or good website for me to try, it would be much appreciated.

yes. these are the warn external type hubs, which means i need to pull the hubs apart in order to remove the rotor.... affirmative on big spacer, 3/8 hex bolts..
i will check newer years in the catalogs.. thanks for the advice

on the rotors, the studs hold the hub and rotor together (on a two wheel drive it is all one piece), same on the rear, the studs need to be driven out to separate the hub from the drum (a semi floater in that year has a drum that just pulls off, there are no external axle bolts, it looks just like a car set up only with eight lugs, the axle and bearing support the weight of the vehicle, full floaters have dual bearings that the hub rides on and supports the weight of the vehicle and the axle does nothing but move the wheel, no weight support....it "floats", "full floater")

that seals the deal buzzbait, and im glad to read your post as I prepare to tear this apart in the morning.
i understood the semi / full float distinction, as far as the axles themselves are concerned, but have had trouble with the brake component identification.
I'm still fairly certain my rear drums have the hub as an integral component - one piece, but there is corrosion here, as my truck was on the east coast for most of it's life.. thankfully i got it to nicer western climes before anything else was toasted on the chassis..(body already changed!) i will be looking at this in the manner you described tomorrow.. driving the studs out and seeing what i get.. heheh
thanks for the tips!
