Poor project has been on the back burner, but I got the 90cc slapped in and found my massive oil leak…. Didn’t tighten the valve cover bolts… that’s what I get for coming n going so much on this thing.

I got the rear swapped in what a pain to do by yourself on gravel…
Now backed into the shop to get the front swapped.

Dana 60 ready to go in first thing in the morning. Now into the unknown. I’ve got the sky’s kit to do the swap. Can’t wait to see how it comes together

Nice. Sound like you're making progress. This is the 2005+ superduty dana 60? Send updates on the install. It's on my wish list. You'll have to let us know how much better the turning radius is.

No this is a Dana 60 kingpin from my 89 crew cab. I’m still on the fence of regretting not finding a cab for it vs swapping it into the 138” wheelbase truck.

Had to replace e brake cables cause I was too lazy to figure out how to get them out of the crew cab before it left. But was a good exercise in drum brakes again, as well as getting to coat everything in the tin man sauce cause of course it was rusted together.

285/75r18 may have been a tad overzealous with an rsk and v code springs with the running boards. (35x10.5r18)

No one trusts their wife more then a husband with no other help available.

I needed to get the truck outa the shop to do other stuff. So no brakes no drivelines and away we went. Flatbed not actually attached to anything just sitting on some wood to give a guy room to work.
No damage to either rig
