Yeah, it's a 1 ton 60 Panel. I'm gonna have to do some measuring. I cant work on it now so I'm making my list of things that need doing and trying to budget it all out. The rear that was under my panel was bent and cut. Looked like someone took the jaws of life to it. My mechanic said it was beyond trying to repair so he suggested just using the D60 out of the Dodge 2500 we were taking the cummins out of. I dont know much about rear ends but I thought if it was good enough for a more modern HD truck like the 2500 it should work fine with my Panel. We put it under the panel and it fit but the tires
just rub the lip of the fender using the wheels off the dodge. And they have the lugs all the way out at the front of the wheel. The wheels that I want to use would stick out about 1.5-2 inches so I would either have to find another set of wheels or get a narrower rear. The 14 sounds like it is likely a good option. Thanks.

Do you mind my asking what the shop charged you for narrowing the D60?
