go up to the Tech Thread and check out CaptainP4s (Pauls) bronco thread. He put a later KP D60 in his bronco.

As far as locating one....get out your check book. The 78-79 KP 60s go for around $1000 and the laters go for $6-800.

Cheeto (crazyredneckanyhow) had a spare 60 at one time but Im not sure if its still for sale or not. -awaits comission check from Cheet-hoe.


How about some pics/specs? What size tires/gears/engine/tranny/t-case etc.

Doing a coil sprung D60 isn't all that hard, just a little time consuming to get it all right.

Speaking of good stuff. I took some of the miricle water to a bud's house to let him sample. He said it was good, but gave me some of his to try. It was so smooth, that as soon as it hit my lips it felt like it evaporated! Dangerous stuff I tell ya! The best part is he makes 10 gallon batches in his kitchen. He said he's been making it for about 5 years and I never knew it. Good stuff!

This stuff is beyond that! I only have a pint left of the last batch. The rest is in the celler with fruit in it for the next few months.
