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

For the most part it is a bolt in swap. The most expensive thing is the single wheel hub/rotor assy, actually the hub itself. They are available thru Six States
Distibutors for a somewhat reasonable price. Everything else is interchangable.

OK how did my reply post get above his? DOOH!

you could also run some rims with crazy backspacing to narrow er a little.

Would the hubs be the only parts I need to buy?
I checked Six States and they're about $400/pair.

Has anyone here ever converted a Dana 60 front axle from a dually for use in a regular fleetside 3/4 ton?
I've been told it's an expen$ive ordeal.

Thanks,

Joe

do you have an 14FF. if so you could convert you rear axle with dually hubs and leave the front alone and run some hummer rims.
