Dana 60 carriers rear to front possible

[Rod]

Would like to know if anyone has any knowledge on this swap possibilty.

Can you take a 30 spline dana 60 rear posi carrier out of a 1970 diff and put the carrier in a 1986 dana 60 front 4x4 axle housing and just change the spider gears from the 30 spline rear to the 35 spline front. In essence can dana 60 front spider gears be swapped with earlier style year 30 spline spider gears.

That way I could have a maximum traction posi from the rear 1970 diff go into the 1986 era dana 60 4x4 front diff. Can it be done?


Would you be able to use ring and pinion also? As to change gear ratios to something different..say 4.10 from 4.56.

Reading some on the net it appears that f*rd dana 60 front used 30 spline spider on the inner from 74-77.

Looking for info on swapping spiders and carriers in all. What you know?

What Id like to hear is I can swap the carriers and maybe gears from the front to the rear with just using the front 35 spline spider gears....posi front for a dana 60 done cheap with parts I have is what I'm hoping.
