MI WTB Dana60 Front axle - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

swyfor5 · 12-10-2009, 10:45 PM

Looking for a Dana 60 frt axle to swap into my K5. Also looking for a corp., 14 bolt to match. Gear ratio optional, just need to find something close to home, don't want big shipping charges. Needs to fit a 1970 K5 Blazer 4x4. Open to any offers! Looking to go 1 Ton, and as soon as possible! I can travel, or have a brother in-law trucker that gets around the country.

Swyfor5, you might clarify too that you need a passenger side drop 60. I remember you buying a np205 for your blazer from Dennis, so I know you need either a GM or Dodge D60. GM has 3" spring pads and Dodge has 2 1/2" I believe. I believe also that on a Dodge, you would need to move the perches over too, but you can normally find a Dodge D60 cheaper. Also, DRW's are cheaper than SRW's, but you are better off buying the SRW's as you would be money ahead with having to change out the hubs and such. Trevor

Hey Michiganders, checked out behind the barn lately? Gotta be a 60 laying out there just waiting to be ressurected! Still looking! Thank's!

*2tons of fun* · 12-18-2009, 04:04 AM

doug will set you up. i bet that if you talk to him you can get the srw axle to your door for way less than buying a drw axle and converting it.

swyfor5 · 12-18-2009, 10:30 PM

Hey 2tons, sent a e-mail to Doug. Still looking for a Dana 60 front closer to home, anybody in Michigan?

Well, still looking. Maybe santa clause will bring one on his sleigh tomorrow night! Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to find one of these 1 ton setups close to home. Especially as hard as the times are right now. Well Merry Christmas everybody! K5 to stay alive!

swyfor5 · 12-27-2009, 07:07 AM

Well, santa came and went. No axles under the tree, or in the driveway!Really looking for a nice dana60 frt., and a 14blt corp., to match. Gonna try and contact some of the bigger boneyards here, and see if they can help.
