dana 60 dimentions?

found a dana 60 king pin on craigslist and was hoping you guys could help me out before I buy it to make sure it will fit. asked for some measurements and the guy got 31.5" roughly between spring pins and about 5.75" tube length between the center and inner c on the driverside. so the question is, is this the right axle for or will it bolt into my 74 4x4?

Sounds like the right one. 😀 Get the drivers side lower spring pad too if you can.

Good to know I don't think he has the lower bracket unfortunately. Also how hard is it to find hubs for a d60 front? Somehow the guy lost the hubs.

D44 versus D60: But you will have a hard time finding a 60 with the 32.5" spring spacing, it'll have to be from a dentside. The '86+axles are spaced at 36", but are more common.

Found a set of hubs on fleabay for $206.00 so I guess now I have to ask myself if it's worth 1000of my pesos for an axle missing the hubs.

Thoughts?

That's the problem with the 78/79 HP D60's, everyone want a premium price for them.


I'm keeping an eye out up here, but they very rarely come up for sale.

I'd buy that axle in a heartbeat if it was down here! They go for $1600 and up here.

I would buy it, but keepin mind that if the hubs are gone, check for other missing parts, like caliper anchors are pretty rare for these and hope you have those, if worn/missing it could be ugly. rotors, bearing hubs, calipers, caliper brackets, shafts, all easy to access.

hopefully this doesn't backfire but this is the axle I'm looking at. Unfortunately about 6 hours away from me so kinda hard to pop over and look at it.
