[Mr Joe]

I'm getting excited

[WhiteKnight]

Nice!!! What year 60 did you get?? And wasnt it outta a ford??

[Mr. Death]

Sweet Cant wait for more pics of the build up. Got a question, where did you get your 35 spline inners/outters for the front 60 and for how much if you dont mind me asking? Thanks.

[Archer]

Axles come from a 79 F-350...

All the parts came from Randy's Ring and Pinion...

[Robert97dodge]

Why did you go with a D60 rear? For what you do will that be strong enough?

[Nick]

sweet set up

[Archer]

Strong enuff? I'll be running a FF 35 spline 4340 chromemolly axle that measures a hair under 1 1/2" thick with a full Detroit and 1350 yoke... That'll be as strong as any 14 bolt and has a tonering that I don't have to machine to make it fit...

P.S. And I also don't have to use any Chevy parts on my Dodge which is a big plus and I won't have to add a Z71 to my screen name...

[Patent Pending]

Very nice. Those are gonna be stout pieces.

Lookin good Mike glad you are finally able to start on them instead of using them for paper weights. If you need any help let me know.
