I let people know so they don't get sold a dana 44 for the price of a 60 . . . and then you find out later when parts don't fit.

pic 1 = king pin style knuckle of 60

pic 2 = 2 top plates held to axle for storage . but it shows the 2 bolts were the u-bolt would be on a non gm dana 60 front.

I believe that this one belonged to the Napco Man over on stovebolt.com at one time I'm pretty sure he sold it....

My new Napco
 
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4168/3...151e6198_o.jpg

I just bought My first NAPCO. This is a 57' GMC. Pretty original minus paint and Oak bed. Original 347 with a good solid body that has little to no rust. It was last registered in 92' and has been sitting in a barn covered since. It runs, thanks to a somewhat anal retentive former owner who would start it every month or so just to keep it in good order. Never-the-less, there's a lot to go through and I'll definitely be having some questions (particularly regarding the front brakes) as I move through this and will thank you all in advance. The current focus is getting it 1200 miles to San Diego so that the fun can begin.

Cheers!

Ask me that question again next week. 20 inches of snow in the foothills outside Denver is hampering Barn access. Hope to have a transport there Monday or Tuesday. Good thing spring snow melts fast, bad thing is spring snow generally becomes spring mud. Might get to test the 4 wheel drive.

Cheers!

One of the best 57 GMC! $2400. Claims to be NAPCO but not much left of those parts. None the less if the demon rust hasn't taken over this is a good price.

Re: NAPCO Thread
 
I could be wrong but I thought in 1960 Chevy started supplying all 4X4’s with factory equipped four wheel drive, no more NAPCO products.

b454rat 02-06-2018 06:59 PM

Re: NAPCO Thread
 
yup. Only 1 tons were NAPCO. That one wouldn't matter anyways since he swapped the axle out. But not a bad price tho....

Re: NAPCO Thread
 
I haven't checked this thread in a while, it's good to see some new pictures. That green 57 is frickin' gorgeous, it gives me hope. I haven't got a lot done to mine recently. I'm hoping to change that soon. I've been busy on another car and trying to get it to auction this spring. I do have the transfer case and SM420 freshened up, pretty and ready to go. The front axle was all busted up. I ended up with 3 broke trunnions and had a friend repair those. It's all been rebuilt and back together. I have the engine work done, just need to assemble it.

I have a question for you guys who know Napco.
I have a ford N600 Napco conversion. I believe from some literature i purchased that my front axle is the 7500lb version. I understand Napco used a lot of Eaton differentials on there axles. I'm just curious what mine would be. I wouldn't think the H072.
