    I just confirmed it, I knew it but I hadn’t really read it anywhere lol. The coil spring axles are Dana 60’s, I think they’re actually called “super 60’s”. I wouldn’t mind a Dana 50, I was actually going to get one before I found this.

    Thanks man. I’m gonna try and go back soon and get the 10.5 that matched but I’m not extremely worried because those are everywhere

    320$ later I own a 2007 dana 60. I got all the springs and everything. I just need coil buckets and radius arm brackets. For the radius arms I’m going to fabrimucate something sorta like a 4 link but sorta not out of some tubing. The coil buckets will be from a super duty because they’re 50$...

    I plan on running a newer 10.5 rear end so I can take advantage of the discs. Hopefully I’ll be able to grab this Dana 60 later today! Anyways, my only reason for sticking with 8x6.5 is because I love my stock alcoas, but if I get the 05+ axles, the smallest wheels I can run at 17 inches, so I...

    This was the “I pull U pull”. I forgot they changed the name. The truck was all cut up but the axles looked clean.

    I found some 06 axles at pick n pull. I wish I went yesterday. I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be able to get them but man I sure hope they’re still there on Saturday.

    I guess I’ve never had anything down to a bare frame. Doesn’t look like there’s any damage and I guess it’s straight.

    200$ is a pretty good deal I feel like. Looks like it wasn’t jumped or totaled so hopefully it’s straight. The guy took the cab and everything for a body swap because his was all rusty I guess.

    That’s what I’m hoping.

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Hey guys. Just updating. I’m picking up a frame on Saturday. The absolutely hardest part of this entire thing is going to be finding a zf5 or even a rear housing for mine. I’ve kinda decided to focus on just getting the frame and body all nice and then I’ll worry about the engine and trans...

    I try to be nice but I really hate when you shake hands with somebody, and then they sell the item right after you leave to go grab a truck.

    Oh yeah, I’ve known that forever. All of my friends get freaked out watching the bed in the mirror, especially if it has stuff in the back. Kinda funny.

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Now I don’t know if I should Be putting these on the internet but anyways. The cab is kinda beat up but I already hammered a lot of it back. The frame is bent in such a weird way that the body mounts are all crooked on one side. But the cab part of it is good. So I won’t have to cut and weld...

    Got my baby. Cab isn’t near as bad as I thought. I can definitely fix it. I’ll need a frame, it stretched super bad at the driver bump stop and has cracks all over it. I’m so happy to have it back and I feel so much better about fixing it. I got a line on a frame, I bought axles from a 2003...

    In my mind, I feel like I don’t really have anything better to do. If I can make a nice truck out of this situation I’d be really happy.

    I thought that would have to involve my insurance And my family and I both weren’t super interested in reporting this incident.

    “The 6.9” project thread

    So yeah, definitely didn’t tell my insurance. I do not plan to at all. The Frame bent like this / where the leaf spring hanger is and goes back to the shackle. The drivers side I beam broke and tucked the tire into the cab, somehow missing the fender. Dented the firewall and then as you said, it...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    I have a genuine question for you guys. What would you do? I am going to have to find a cab and frame, but most likely a parts truck. So many people have told me that it won’t be the same and it’s not worth the time an effort. I have a hard time listening to my own thoughts sometimes. I know...
