Re: Dana 60 gear swap

I'll be honest, even with the skills I have and the equipment I have I personally won't attempt to swap gears in one of those and probably would take the axle to a specialist to have anything beyond changing wheel bearings. The reasons are exactly what 1project2many listed in his post. It not only takes special tools it takes quite a bit of knowledge and patience.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
