Dana 60 & 44 Axel Questions
 

:confused: I have a 72 chev 4x4 1/2 ton that i want to keep a half ton BUT i want, if possible, dana 60 fron and rear axel. did they make dana 60's in 6 lug for both front and back? or do i have to put a 6 lug dana 44 up front? thanks!:flag:

Dynatrac makes dana 60 axles any way you want then except cheap.

3/4 14 bolts in the rear and they are eight lug

if you got the bucks sure...... gotta be custom done

If you are going to get dana 60s why not just go with the 8 lug full floaters?

come on whatever high buck wheels you got on it now arnt worth the extra $$ spent on custom done dana 60s!

i have stock 6 lug rallye wheels on it and thats what i want on it. nothing, in my opinion, looks cleaners than rallyes.
:bowtie:

they make a similar 8 lug style rally....... http://communities.msn.com/68k10/68k...to&PhotoID=209
not as good but...... ALOT cheaper than custom axles

maybe i dont need custom axels? did dana ever make 6 lug dana 60's?

Dana-Spicer made a dana 60-2 that was a semi-float type axle that was under some GM C-10 trucks in 68-70, probably 6 lug. I believe some chrysler cars also had semi-float dana 60s.

If your looking to strengthen your drivetrain you could upgrade your axle shafts with aftermarket units(front and rear) and increase your front axle u-joint from the 260x to 297x.

I am familir with Dynatrac, seems to be the best and does have hefty price tag but worth it in some instances. Is anyone familiar with Boyce Equipment?

According to their website they have a lot of experience with truck axles and seem cheaper than dynatrac.

i ahve a dana 60 rear ff for sale if your interested, sean

Dont forget that Chevy put 14 bolt corportate axles in there 6 lug
3/4 ton trucks in the late 80's and early 90's.
