Dana 60 front dually conversion

I have a Dana 60 front dually axle that i just got out of a (not sure of the exact year) but its a first gen. Powerstroke. 94-97.

My question is, what do I have to do to convert it from a dually axle to a regular axle. I've read that there is a spacer? But it doesn't look like a spacer on this one, more of the whole rotor and hub is different. What do I need to do to convert it?

thanks for any help

if i remember correctly the spacer is bolted to the hub where the regular wheel studs go in. just unbolt the spacer and put studs in where it was bolted to hub

That's what it looks like... But also, how does a locking hub fit in? If i pull the spacer, is the setup the same behind it for a hub?

The axle came out of a first gen powerstroke. And it's going in my IDI diesel.

keep it a dually front and get some dually wheels for the rear and make yours a dually. if you have a pick up bed just get some dually fenders

unbolt the dual wheel spacer, and bolt a single wheel locking hub on.
