Dana 60 found! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

abebummy26 · 06-16-2009, 10:48 PM

So I'm involved with a car ministry through my church. A couple weeks ago I went out there and there was an old dodge plow truck. Tonight I went to look at it just to see if it was a 1 ton, with the coveted dana 60 axle. I walk up to it and I see a 350 badge on the fender I look down at the hubs and sure enough its got 4" hubs. It's an 1984 srw dodge. I talked to the president and he said you can buy the whole truck for $150. So right now I'm trying to figure out where the heck I can store it basically I figure I can get a free dana 60 plus some extra coin once I scrap the rest of the truck. I'm not interested in letting people know where its at right now for obvious reasons.

that 60 you're looking at will have external hubs, but other than that it is pretty much the same as a chevy 60, just a little narrower. i have one from a dodge myself.

That`s a cool deal.My was-wife`s knuckleheaded cousin had `78 W250 that had a Dana60.He was just using it for a trash hauler.I told him to let me know when he was giving up on it...pretty beat.i see him a while later and asked what was up with the Dodge.He said it had a fire under the hood.
"What did you do with it?"
"Sold it to some guy for $100."
I about smacked the sense out of him.Then,realized he didn`t have any.For example,I had sold him a new chrome step bumper I had stashed for $200 when I told him to let me know when he was done with it.

I`m glad you got yours.
