You reckon a 9" is strong enough?? I just pulled one out of the back because it wasn't up to the task.
BTW, I only want a front diff, I already have converted a chev diff into the back.

sledheadak wrote:1st- you would have to grind almost 1/2" off the caliper to fit a 15" rim,not real safe.
2nd -shipping to L.A. Calf. would be $200-$300 US then what ever it is to get it to you.
3rd-would you need a right or left side drop? do you have a US ford or chevy t case?
for small parts i could just mail them which would probly be faster and cheaper than a shipping company.
i can be reached at 1-907-770-9034 ask for mike

I rang a few Ftruck wreckers from around this country , actually emailed them asking if they had any dana 60's and 4 out of 5 said they have. the going price for a stock rear drum to drum is around $800-$900 , more for a disk brake version.
I even chatted to someone a little while ago in perth ( another forum ) and he told me he had about 4 of them in his backyard , i was going to get one until i found out how much it cost to frieght it to brisbane , theres ample around . I have a copy/s of danas official codes for all diffs that came out of dana for all the years that were supplied to ford, chev , jeep , etc, etc ( high pinion , low pinion , HD , front & rears, doubles , etc )
go to www.bulltear.com ( yank site ) and jump on the furum there , look up General tech , then look up D60 & print it all out .

If anyone wants a good read JP magazine has some articles recently about turning rear dana 60's into fronts with step by step pics and instructions and a parts list of what they used.
You should be able to find JP magazine at bigger newsagents.
