Trade old E40D for D60??
Howd i do?? I just did a 5 speed swap a month or so ago. And ive been trying like crazy to sell the old automatic trans. It was a ford reman and the truck had 130k on it. So who knows the mileage the trans had. Friend of mine had a nice Dana 60 with 3:55's. Said the steering linkage looked newer, ball joints are good, etc.. Think its a fair trade?

Well, ive been trying to sell it for a while...And no one wants it. And my ball joints in the d50 are going. And i needed spindle nuts on convert the D50 to manual locking hubs anyways. So ball joints are about 85 a piece ive herd and spindle nuts are 75 for the kit. Plus i think id be better off with a solid front aswell. The D60 is complele.

I do these all the time and my cost for Napa parts is right near $100 for all four. Just FYI.
Oh, and congrats on the D-60!

I just bought a spindle nut kit last month, 115 dollars if I remember right.
I do remember the spindle nuts and a set of Warn manual hubs was just over 300 dollars for my 60 when the auto hubs ate themselves.

Its a 94 D60....With warn manual locking hubs...all tight i guess. We have 12-15 inches of snow comming tonight into tomorrow. So im going to wait until the storm is over to put up the front end.
