Dodge dana 60 front in a chevy
I just got an 80s dodge dana 60 front axle and it looks like it might bolt in to my 72 4x4. I already changed the rear to a 14 bolt and have 9/16" wheel studs but the dodge only has 1/2 inch studs. Anyone ever try this swap? Any tips?

yep its been done a lot . lots of guys swap to gm hub/rotor units to get internal locking hubs and bigger studs .

^^^^ that is the easiest way with the kit above. The dodge has a 32'' leaf spring center and the chevy is 31.5.

The wheel studs are an easy fix, just knock out the old Dodge studs and press in the 9/16" GM studs. Any auto parts store should have them.
