John32369 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Ok to everybody who has swapped out the rear ended on a D24 to something more modern. What did you do for emergency brakes? How did you use the existing ones on the newer axles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbagestate 44 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 If you are using the original transmission, I wouldn't think you would have to do anything since the e brake drum is on the end of the tail shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John32369 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 No this has a completely modern drivetrain under it. Previous owner put a 350sbc in it with a turbo 350 transmission and a Chevy rear end. I know it’s blasphemy but that’s what I’m working with right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the diff, what GM 10 bolt with drums, or more modern with discs? If either, and the park brake components are intact, run a cable system and handle or install a foot pedal type. Its all custom work now, since yours is far from stock. Post some pics possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
