So I have been contemplating what direction I want to go with the rig and I have decided what I want to do. So I need to start gathering parts. I am putting together a incomplete list of parts I am going to need (major parts) and if you guys have or come across someone with any of these please let me know.


D60 Front (pass drop)
D60 Rear
^Thinking f-250/350 width, would like super duty axles
Any misc D60 parts
Would possibly consider D44 front and 9" rear as well
~8 lug wheels to match axles

Gen 3 99'+ 5.3 GM v-8
Wiring harness and pcm
4L60E Auto trans

Not sure about T-Case yet, Atlas is out of the question for now.

I will update periodically. Thanks again guys.
This is where I am headed

I have the rear ford 60 from the whore that will be for sale soon. 4340 shafts disc brakes 5:13 and spooled.

I don't want your twisted shafts! Haha j/k.
Let me know what kind of $$$$

Go with a front 60, it is worth the extra $$. Are you looking for an old school king pin 60 or?

either way. I know kingpins are stronger from what I understand but I don't know shit about them. I would almost rather ball Seth-Joint but it all depends on what's available when I'm ready to drop the dough. I would kind of like a matched set of like f350 axles.

I have replacement shafts on the way. They had a bad batch from Yukon

I know I was totally jackin with ya! Seriously though, let me know what your price is. I think I have a Dana 60 front out of a 99+ super duty lined up. $150 bucks. Has a bent tracbar mount. Tubes are straight.

Don't the newer one tons use unit bearings? I know you can get conversion kits to swap them to a normal spindle and bearing setup.

yes.

Conversion kit is big bucks, but if you are buying the axle for that cheap maybe you should do it.

I spent 1K on my front 60, and that is before I installed the gears and all that. I do have that guys #, and he collects 60s as a side business for his shop out in aurora.

Make sure that $150 axle is a D60 and not a D50. My F350 has a front D50... :(
