leversole Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My rear housings are SWD5701, they have maxi brakes.I want to put modern cans on...from what I can see, the mounts for the cans and shaft bolt on to the ends of the housing. Can I simply find a more modern SWD5701 and change the brake mount?Are there other rear housings that will swap, that is, is the bolt pattern standard on similar, but later model axle housings?Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19366-rear-end-parts-interchange/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearance is close but they will fit.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
