swaping in a dana 60

[IHguy]

I finally made time to work on my truck a little. Its an 83 diesel suburban that I took the 6.2 and auto tranny out and put a 93 6.5 turbo diesel and nv4500 tranny in. I pulled the full float 14 bolt outa the truck and re mounted the spring mounts and got that in. Now onto the front.... I traded a pretty much scrapped out, dont owe me nothing, old truck for what I believe to be a ford dana 60 front (ball joint) dont matter to me because I need a driverside axle to match my 93 drivetrain and this truck wont be a rockcrawler. So I think its a dana 60 and would like some help to verify that and help me with brake options and what not. I was told but its 4.10 gears so it convienently matches my rear axle too. Heres some pictures of the axle and the codes i found on it.







I believe it says 44 60F


35733 or 35783 have to look in the daylight again it was getting late on me and I set it ouside with the skid steer before i looked at the numbers closer.


and I pulled the calipers and rotors off the 93 just in case i could get them to work on this axle. One side of my ford axle has a braket and rotor but no caliper. also wondering if for now my stocker 1/2 ton ones on my burban will work with a braket just to get it moble for painting and stuff...

I sandblased the calipers quick and put a little paint on them to clean them up a little


Any help is much appreciated!!! Im very mechanically inclined but I work on farm equiptment for a living so Im learning the automotive stuff as I go especially on this project!
