D21 big brake combo

[JumboFett]

Hi team!

Years ago somebody asked these questions, but I didn’t see an answer:

 

Will my 78 hub fit on the Hard Body spindles?

And if I want oversize brake setup, can I get the rotors off a V6 Hb 2x4 and the calipers off a 4x4 HB?

 

Is that a viable combination?

Thank you! 🙏

What you want is a Z32 caliper and rotor adapter. This is a kingpin truck that has been converted to D21 spindle and ball joints.

Although that is awesome that might be too much brake for my little truck and littler wallet. 
Really just interested in getting the answers to the above questions. Thank you

You know what, maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m prejudging the cost and/or retrofit. Do you happen to have a parts list to put a z32 swap in my ball joint spindle setup?

Thank you 🙏

I literally paid $10 for each z32 caliper with like new Nissan pads and hardware. The spindles are cheap or free. Shop around.

No, I used the same exact parts that Mike Klotz used on his custom LCAs. The stock 620 tension rods mounted to modified d21 lower arms. Nothing fancy or special.
