1 Ton Axles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking of buying a set of axles form a guy for $2000, it is a D60 in front and a 14 bolt in rear, both have detroit lockers and disc brakes. Is it a good deal? do they just swap into any 73-87 4x4??

I am in No. Calif. and here that would be a fair price if it is exactlly what they claim in this area.

they get 1200-1500 for front chevy 60's over here in spokane wa.
and 250 for regular 14 bolts..add 300 forthe disk brake kits we sell and there ya have it..plus add for lockers

Big money..

The 60 should bolt right in. The 1ton 14s have a different spring perch width.

If you buy them, make sure to get the u-bolt plates. The front plates are unique to the 60. The rear are different than a half ton, and usually on the bottom instead of the top like most 3/4 tons- top or bottom will both work as tube dia. is the same. Dually rear plates are different yet [bigger tube]. The front brake hoses are different also. front pinion yoke takes the same u-joint. rear yoke is the same as a 3/4 ton, bigger than a 1/2 ton. - and yep, 1 ton 14's spring pads are 40" c/c. 1/2 & 3/4 are 42" c/c.

The think is in the rear it is set up for a 3 link suspension w/ coil springs, but they are both 4.56's and this is Canadian dollars also.

math time kiddies:

dana 60 front: $1500
corp 14 bolt FF : $200
detroit locker @ $600 x2: $1200
disc brakes for 14 b: $300

total: $3200 (US Dollars)

that is a steal at the advertised price...isn't $2000 CDN like $75 USD? lol :p

if it didn't fit your truck as is, I would make it fit.
