Roys first build

84 s-10 blazer 4x4 5 speed into 203 4 speed SFA currently the 3/4 ton 12 bolt is almost complete. Looking for local source for a braided brake lines. I'm using the stock s-10 brake line to the "T" then braided to the wheels ? Is this okay ?? I need to make up some length as the full size axles are of course wider...


Thoughts anyone ??

[Grumpy]

Are the stock lines to the tee long enough for any extra travel you may gain?

[79chevy39.5's]

im pretty sure that a s-10 master has a much smaller bore than the 3/4 ton front calipers as well as rear wheel cylenders.. dependin on the the line size id look at i think chevette brakelines are super long for the front and then i run a 87 chevy 1 ton rear line with enough length

[Zach ogle]

hey i have a pair of braided break lines that use adapters to fit the caliper, you can buy the adapters from baxter.. and the break lines that i have are brand new if you want them

[White trash]

I'm still trying to figure out what is a 3/4 ton 12 bolt....


Go to any parts store and grab some 3/16" steel line long enough to reach from the 1 to the wheel cylinder just like stock. No reason to risk snagging a braided line on the trail and losing the brakes.

i was told addimately that there are 12 bolt front and rear diffs by a woytech instructer oh and they are one ton axles

When the educators need to be educated there is a problem.

It hasn't gone sideways yet, your rig is still the subject of discussion.


Now are you going to answer my questions so I or others can help you or not?

[Grumpy]

It's just Trashy that's sideways

[White trash]

I'd rather be sideways than backwards..

[Grumpy]

I don't want to see your backwards

a axle that came from a 3/4 ton truck....lol

[White trash]

So it came out of a light duty 3/4 ton so it is a standard issue 6 lug 12 bolt. There is no difference between it and one that came out of a 1/2 ton. They both are weak.

[LiftedZuki]

Trashy knows all.... well with trucks atleast.

[RoysRide]

No its an 8 lug rear end that came from a 3/4 ton 4x4 from 66'...... and i have the matching Dana 44 front with 3.73 gears and 8 lug rims ~


NOW, as far as the 94 ford f-250 leaf packs being fiberglass one pc. i'm assuming they are going to flex well !


I dont know how to attach pics here otherwise I'd post 'em !

Well, I guess they're 8 lugs from google searching.

[White trash]

I stand corrected on the 8 lug shafts but that's the only difference I can find with that axle. You want a 8 lug HO72? 4.56's and welded diff worth about $25 in scrap I'll let it go for a bottle of jager.

[RoysRide]

no thanks

[Roman]

OK, what's a HO72?

[White trash]

Old school 14 bolt. Drop out 3rd style. You can swap the side gears and axle shafts out of a later 14 and have one bad mama jama axle.

[RoysRide]

ANYONE ?? Thoughts on using these for my front ??.....

So doesn't that make it a Eaton?

Yea it is an eaton axle of the hotchkis design. There were a few different models, the one I have is an HO72.
