dana 50 questions
hey yall im nick and im new on this forum,
alrt so the deal is i picked up a d50 to SAS in my 91 ranger. i know the weaknesses and downsides of a 50 compared to a d60. however my question is (knowing the 50 uses a 60 housing) would it be cheaper to bore the tubes, put 60 inner C's on it, and line bore the carrier bearing seats in order to run 60 internals...or just buy a 60? and the general price for around my area is anywhere of 900+ for a front kingpin 60. ive put no money into the 50 except for an axle trade +200.
any help would be appreciated thankyou

My plan is to run D44HD front and D60 rear from the 70's era Fords.
But talking about the D50 specifically, I don't know how much it would cost to do that work, but if it were me, I'd hold out for a D60

what did the D50 come out of ?
and are you talking about putting it under the small ranger trucks or a regular sized ford truck ?
i think the D50 used the D44 housing with the D60 outers !

the D50 is not a weak axle by any means ! are planning to run mega HP and giant tires ?
the D50 should be fine as is !
depends on what year the axle is there might be a difference in the wheel bolt patterns !
