    looking for a rear end with stock disc brakes.
    The project is a 22RE/5-speed in a home made roadster pickup.
    I think there is a Toyota pickup with this setup,anyone know? Year?
    Any others?

    Thanks Fred

    Volvo 2, 7 & 9 series rearend are disc brake equipt with internal park brake. They are Dana 30s so parts are not hard to come by. Cheap too.

    Ford explorer has rear disc brake, and its a 8.8 rear, pretty good.

    The Explorer rear is fairly narrow too - used a lot by the Jeep crowd - supposed to be as strong as a Dana 44.

    What kind of bolt pattern are you looking for?

    Most late model RWD or 4WDs have rear disc it seems.

    94-96 Chevy 9C1s (cop cars) and Impalas had rear disks on 10 bolt rears. It's a 5 on 5 truck pattern.
     
  11. I think newer tacoma toyota's have rear disc's, call the dealer they can tell you or the local wreckers.

    ford 8.8 = dana 30 = volvo 2-7 series, I think...

    Here in Europe a Ford 8.8 axle goes for $ 500.-, Volvo axles go for $ 150.-! Guess what I am using!

    Now I need a chrome cover for one, anyone has one on the scrap pile?

    The Ford Explorer rear ends are nice to use, narrow track and a slick parking brake built-in. They come with a locker option, and I've found good gear ratio options when I was looking around for one to put under my '51 F1 pickup.

    you could also do a conversion, explorer parts fit on most ford 8 and 9 inch, mid 80's lincoln town car onto most ford 5 bolts, using ranger 5 bolt axles and lincoln parts to change ford mustang 4 to 5 bolts, cad eldo or buick Rivera on a lot of GM stuff chrysler imperial for mopars. there are a lot of conversion possibilities out there
