A couple parts for my leaf to temp coiled D60 for 73 CC.

73 CC and parts Donor 1979 SC


The CC is on what I thinks is a F250 4x4 frame as it looks like a D44HD not a D60 by the hubs in this pic.

These are whats on it now, I am assuming F250 supercab as I am thinking D44 HD?

This is the Subercab F250 donor that has the D60 that will it will give up for the F350 CC in the pic below.

1979 D60 donor for the 73 CC.

The D60 will also be getting the big hubs which I really like and was able to get thanks to the forum, and all the seals from Ebay.

Going on the 73 CC Just cause their pretty!!



Well while I was working on the Supercab, my son whacked the wedges off the Hi pin D44 off a 76 we replaced on the Bro in laws build. I am going to clearance the C's a tad fit the large OD if the D60. I know I can buy them, but for mock up free is always better��

Scrap? Naw, mock up pieces!

I'm not sure if those hubs will work on that Dana 60. They are from a pre 77.5 Dana 44hd and are a different design than the later 60 hubs... I could be wrong though since it's been a while since I've had that style apart.

Isn't the d44 HD an 8 lugger like in the first pic? These are huge I can't see a d44 hub holding these, but as you said I could be wrong. I am sure the experts on here will chime in though.

The Dana 44hd in that pic appears to be a later 77.5-79 high pinion one. Those other hubs are off of a pre 77.5 low pinion Dana 44hd, like the ones on my highboy. Not sure if they were used on the early enclosed knuckle Dana 60's or not. Your Dana 60 appears to be the later more desirable style like the one in my crew cab...wich has a different hub style. So I'm just not sure if the cap will interchange... good luck either way!

Here you go Crew. Just got these from the machinist. WCB extended arms with one-off Fast B A S T A R D Garage Coilover mounts in solid billet. Uses flush mounted grade 8 shoulder bolts. You can see that they take the entire back seat of the SRT-8. These are for my 74 Bronco build. The truck will have the identical style except they will be another 1' longer and a bit more gusseted. I could have gone another way, but I like the tightness that the c-bushings offer over a full heim set up. Sometimes old tech is just good tech.

when I bought them, unmolested still!

Powder coated with the new mounts, the top deck on the arms and caps were shaved flat too.

They're home. chauffered as they should be in the back of the SRT-8. Just oozes class huh?

Getting the Star treatment!

Cherries. No 12"er's on them yet!

And of course by 12"er's I am referring to 12" stroke dual rate KINGS!! that have been gathering dust.
"It's good to be the KING!!!!

Odd question... on the panel between the front and rear doors, does anyone have a pic of that panel off of the truck? I've got to pull mine off to fix a couple dents. The spot welds running up the sides are obvious, but the top and the bottom are not. my truck was painted with a brush or a roller, so the paint is globbed on too thick to see any lines or details.

If I could wish a wish, it would be that the front seat would lay back and match up with the rear seat, making a "bed". Kinda like the old Nash seats did.

yes, all they sell is long bed sheet metal and patches. I didn't think they were that bad, but the body shop said it would be a lot cheaper to replaced them to fix them.

I find that hard to believe they only sell long bed 8' panels and not 6 1/2' panels. Did you call them or just look on their website? Also did you check Dennis Carpenter or NPD?

I called lmc this morning and the lady said they don't. D.C. Doesn't even have them on their site. NPD carries only the long bed sides also.
