You see it all time where a D60 is the first upgrade people do when the poor rig is propelled by tired small block, TH350 with a set of used bad mud tires. I shake my head at some of those builds. The D44 in mine has been through hell and has never had a major issue other than me blowing out an axle shaft u-joint once in the snow, but the joint was dry and I was spinning the tires pretty fast under a hard RH turn lock. A D60 could have broke that day just as easy. I would still be running this D44 had Mosesburb not told me about this deal. I think all the hoopla of everybody “needing” a D60 is overrated.

that sounds like me! every truck i drive usually ends up with a 60. the jeep and the green K20 both have them and my f250 has one waiting in the wings. i recently decided what i am doing with my "parts truck" K20 and the search for a front 60 has begun!

truck looks sweet and congrats on the upgrade to dana 60 "man" status!
