Dana 60 rear.

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I want to put a Dana 60 in the rear of my truck to change the rear end ratio from 4.11's to 3.54, and take a bit of weight out of my rear end. At the same time I plan to add the disk brake kit so I take about 100 pounds off the back side in total.

All I do is drive around, and dirt road my C20 with AT's. I got the C20 for the brakes, and not any real toughness factor. So going down in rear axle's strength is not an issue for me.

Which truck would you get a rear Dana 60 from? I know the Ford's rear hub is bigger then GM's, but what about Dodge's Dana 60. I would like H2 rims on my C20 eventually, but cutting opening up the center hole is not much of an issue for me.

Also if I buy a lets say a Ford or Dodge Dana 60, can I convert it to Chevy status?

Before the Dana 60 hits my truck it will get the rear disk kit so any mods will be done then
