Yup. They are VERY hard to find. Be prepared to spend $125 plus for one. Ford no longer makes them

What? Are they made out of gold!!!? So you have one? Does that mean you would sell it? And if you would I'm guessing $125.00

Check a scrap yard or pull-a-part.

They are hard to come by as Brad mentioned before. Call Ruff Stuff ( Off-Road Fabrication Parts - RuffStuff Specialties ) they make many products including axle swap parts. Their Ford Dana 60 swap kit has their version of what you are looking for.

Example:

I toss them in the scrap bin.

If I would have known they where worth 125$ each I would have kept them!



But I use regular u bolts, and top plates from the rear axles.

I guess you can't trust the manufacturer's description: Ford Dana 60 Front Axle Simple Swap Kit (late model, '78 & newer) - RuffStuff Specialties

Good deal. I was at the pull-a-part yesterday looking for some plastic for a taurus and asked one of the guys what they wanted for the plate you were looking for when I walked past a 1 ton just to see what they'd say for the fun of it, and they told me 30 bucks and I could take it. 35 isn't half bad though.

Like I said some people confuse them with being made from gold. If anyone ever needs one and your having trouble finding one PM me.
