Quick question. I blew out the front LH axle shaft on my D50 ttb. I found a complete springs, steering box, D60 out of a DRW (whole front frame clip).
1) is converting a DRW front axle as straight forward as removing the adapters and you’re done?
If so, does that mean I can use those adapters on my D50 in my other truck who’s ass end has been converted to DRW and hence use dually rims on the front? (No longer hauling 2 spare tires as it were)
1a) DRW D60 presumably has 4:10, and I prefer the 3:54 in my SRW which is where this new to me axle assembly would go. Ring gear and pinion swap to 3:54 a PITA?
2) or should I just fix the busted LH axle shafts and call it a day and stop trying to convince myself that a straight axle on truck #1 is a good idea? And acquiesce to 2 spares on truck #2
3) Am I asking the right questions?
Donor Truck with D60 is a 90 diesel DRW
#1 truck is 94.0 factory turbo IDI ZF5-42 133WB F250
#2 truck is 88 F250 NA IDI C6 133 WB converted to DRW with 350 spring pack in the rear and 95a D50TTB in the front, 4:10
