Dana 60Hp Ford front and GM14bolt with Detroit

[jasonc]

They are both 4.10. The front I purchased from Gubni several years ago and I've never cracked it open to look at it. The rear came from a friend's truck that I know ran out good and was in excellent working order. I will sell the pair for $1400, or each one for $1400 and you get the other for free. I was going to use these in a streched CJ7 but have decided since to get a 4dr JK and live the high life for family's comfort. Thanks.

Is the front a kingpin or balljoint front?

[Hadfield4WD]

What year is the D60? What spline outers is what I am wondering. 78 and 79 what 35 spline

[BillM]

I could be wrong here but I think all stock 60 outers are 30 spline. Again I could be wrong. :D

I passed on word to a buddy of mine who's building up a 5.9 ZJ.

[Gubni]

Yes, all older Ford D60 fronts had 30 spline outters. You can buy new 35 spline stubs and lockouts to convert to 35 spline.

Kingpins that came on the sno fighter model and extended cabs had stock 35spl. In '78 and '79 only.

Oh and if I had the money I'd get these for the wifes zj. Just being patient.

Kingpin
Gubni may know the year of the axle or how I may identify it.

I think it was an 85.

Man....I did not know that!!!! Mine is a Sno fighter 60 and I just went out and bought a 35 spline upgrade kit....Dang. I never thought to count them as I just took for granted that it was a 30 spline.

No they didn't. I own two of them now and have owned several others. They are 35 spline inner, but not outter.

About half of the F250's were "sno fighters" which had the plow prep package which included a D60 front. It could also be ordered as an upgrade and was part of the camper special. The F250 version got a D60 rear, but the F350 version got the D70 rear which is 35 spline. All the fronts in that eara were 30 spline outters. Chevy made some D60 axles with 35 spline outters, but I think that was in the 80's and I think the newest Ford axles now have 35 spline outters.

phew....that makes me feel better about myself...thanks.

I said 35 spline I didn't specify outers. :grin:

Just kidding I thought they were 35 spling outers. hmm I stand corrected. Part of the problem witht he later d 60's is the shortening of the driver side tube, thuse requiring welding to the diff. But it can be done. A d60 diff housing is nodular iron vs cast and is easier to weld to and less brittle. Still need to preheat and post cool.
