two new dana 60s hehehe

Why Dana 60's? If you're gonna buy new stuff get a ford 9 inch and a Hi9 for the front. You have a lightweight truck, keep it lightweight and it will make offroading a dream. WHEN I break my D44 I'll be building a front 9 inch.

60's are a beast man!

Are you getting them narrowed, or gonna run them full width?

 

[t120r]

Exactly. Beastly heavy. You run a 9 inch in the front with D60 outers and you'll have a bulletproof front end that weighs less than half as much. You can run the 35 spline axles for the 9 inch and spline em to fit the 60 outers. The rear can easily be modded to do anything the 60 can do. Plus it'll be cheaper. The late 80's vans had a pinion support that has a speed sensor for ABS as well so you have a chance of still passing an inspection. When it comes to buying new axles, D60s would be my last choice.

 

[rngrdanny22]

Yeah, they are pretty heavy... hell, my D44's are heavy as crap... LOL

 

[Demon-FX4]

well they aint new srry they are new to me is what i meant they are off a 87 ford f250 i got for 400 bucks the truck also has a 351 windser and i been thinking of keeping them full width and yes heavy but i have them and i aint going to buy a 9 inch when i aldready have these

 

[t120r]

Ah, you said new, so I took it as you were gonna buy them. $400 is not bad for axles. Mine were about $600CAD... Double that by the time they were installed... Maybe more

 

[rngrdanny22]

I hear that man, you cant beat that price! I paid about $700 for my two axles (freighted.. that cost about $400 by itself!).

 

[Demon-FX4]

lol no no no i bought the whole truck with engine, tranny, transfer case, axles for 400 bucks

 

[t120r]

What kind of truck? I may be interested in buying some parts off you if it's anything big block related.

 

[Demon-FX4]

it's a 351 windser engine carberated 87 ford f250

 

[t120r]

An F250 with Dana 60s front and back???

 

[Demon-FX4]

yup some guy used it for hualing wood or work related stuff

 

[t120r]

If it has a rear flanged output on the Tcase I might be interested in buying it off you.

 

[Demon-FX4]
