I'd like to see a stopping test of two equal deuces. One with a standard drum system in perfect working order, and one of the disc brake setup.

You are asking about the m715, dana 70 front and rear?
No, I am asking if you can get the disc brake set-up for the rockwell's with different lug count. Say for instance in an 8lug set up. That would allow bobbed deuce owners to get aftermarket 20" rims and run something like boggers or whatever.

Yes, If I can manage to keep my M715, (wife wants is sold) I would love to put some rockwells under it and lose the heavy drums and run something like superswampers.

No 8 lug ( 8 on 6.5" BP ), I do not want to take a 2 1/2 ton axle and neck it down to 1 ton at the wheel. Alot of different companys make 15", 16", wheels to fit this setup.

I have both axle housings stripped bare...I guess I'll cut the rivets tomorrow on the stock brake backing plates because I kinda like that bolt on setup
You can use a torch to cut the revit heads off on the inside of the backing plate. I use a punch and 4 lbs. hammer and drive them out.
