Brake question

What size brakes are on a 3/4 ton Dana 60 rear end?

I am going out and buying things this weekend.

I'm getting....
Hardware kit
Brake Adjustment lever
Brake Adjustment cable
Brake Adjuster
Brake Shoes
Wheel Cylinders

Anything else I should need?

The size of your brakes will be stamped on the brake drum.

Either 12 x 2-1/2 or 12 x 3. Depending on your GVWR.

Don't forget brake cleaner, Brake Grease for lubrication, and a lot of DOT three brake fluid to flush that contaminated fluid from the system, as you mentioned in the other thread.

good luck.

Ok thanks guys. Sorry Ill try to search more.

Means I gotta take my wheel off again. HA HA!!!

Yeah brake cleaner and grease would help. Dont gotta worry about the Brake fluid I already got 3 big things of it!

I don't know the history of the truck so I'm just replacing everything in the rear end associated with the brakes.
