Re: Shortening Axles- Dana 60 Rear and 44 Front

I asked a question about dually rear ends and the last post stated that the C&C housing is narrower than the regular dually and SRW versions. If you added SRW hubs to a C&C housing you could get it pretty narrow.

I have not done this myself so measure yourself to be sure

Re: Shortening Axles- Dana 60 Rear and 44 Front

The SRW and C&C axles use the same housings and shafts, with the difference in width being in the hubs. The housings are actuallly identical except for the location of the backing plate flange. Drums & hubs are different, but backing plates, shoes, and wheel cylinders are the same) * The SRW and Van axles use the same hubs, the C&C and DRW axles use the same hubs; Though different, the SRW/Van hubs and the C&C/DRW hubs can be interchanged causing a change to the axles WMS (see pics below) SRW and C&C axle shafts are the same ** Van, DRW, and SRW/C&C axle shafts are all different lengths as follows (long/right side / short/left side):


Thanks

Re: Shortening Axles- Dana 60 Rear and 44 Front

So what WMS do you get when you use a DRW hub/axles?

Also you mentioned a pic but do not see one.

Thanks
