dana 60

[IHOlRed]

ok so iv been lookin for a dana 60 to do a swap in my truck. iv been lookin for about a month now and it seems like its much easier to find an axle from a dually. can i just take the hub extender out and put a new hub in from a srw axle and everything be the same? im tryin to find an axle for less than 1000 so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

a dually axle can be used without much fuss... I am not sure about the details but I am pretty sure that there are no huge differences.

It should just be the wheel hub. But look into the prices for a wheel hub because they are 300 for a set for a dodge D60. So a 900 axle might not be such a good deal if hubs are 300.

If your truck has a TTB D50, you already have the SRW hubs, yours will go right on the 60, bearings, hub and rotor are exactly the same.

Just get a dually D60 axle, and then follow up with a dually Sterling and a pair of fenders, then a set of 6 wheels - problem solved!

My D60 was from a dually truck. Like said above just take the bud adapters off and put your hub on from your dana 50. Then you can turn around and sell the extensions on e-bay or something. Thats what I did to recover some money back. Good luck, I bought mine off of e-bay from a guy in maine. his e-bay name is dana60specialist. He always has dana 60's on there and mine cost $850 to shipping warehouse in columbus. Not to bad I thought since they are rare to find around my neighborhood.

You get a dualy dana 60, and I will buy the DRW hubs from the front axle! I have been scrounging for a set like CRAZY! I will even send you my old Dana 50 hubs if you want them

When my Dana 60 sells in my dually, I will offer the buyer the hubs from my dana 50 if they want single wheel, and I will have a set of dually front hubs. This only works if they want single wheel, but I will try and accomodate you. I have 2 dana 60's I will be selling, one is single, one is dually.

that would be awsome! I have all the parts except for those hubs! Parts like that are scarce in my parts....and when you find them they cost an arm and a leg!

Just keep your eyes open for a truck with a dana 60, when all was said and done, I ended up making money putting my 60 in. We paid 2k for the truck, I swapped my dana 50 for the 60 and stole a few other suspension parts. I sold the truck for 1000, the brand new super swampers for 800, and got a brand new set of batteries for my truck. I think I had 250 out of pocket and paid for the rest in scrap originally.

Ended up making my money back and having a bunch of spare parts to use on mine. Im still considering swapping the injection pump before the truck dissappears.

I'll do what I can, but can't make a promise. When I find out, I will let you know.
