Hey fella's, new guy here from NC checking in. I have been a lurker here for a long time and finally got a M-715. It is a retired brush truck from a local fire department.
Heres my question-
How much trouble is the swapped in 14 bolt with rear disc's on it?
-I have read "no problem"
-I have read "had to mount calipers upside down and vacumn bleed brakes"???
OK. So who on here has swapped in a 14 bolt? Any pics or comments?
I have searched but no real clear answers to be found.
Spring width on my M715 is right at 54".
Back plate to backing plate on my 14 bolt is right at 54"
I can see where it would be a PITA.
I have three choices of rear ends.
-14 Bolt FF (my prefered choice)
-Dana 60 (weak axles)
-Dana 70HD (out of a dually. Concerned about wheel spacing and ground clearance.)
Sorry for the rambling first post. I have searched and searched. I am hoping to here from some of you who have actually done this.
Thanks in advance!!!!!
