Hey rednck21 could you shoot your pic's to me as well? I am neck deep in this conversion too.<br><br>bent what size wheels are you running? 15 / 16 / 16.5"

Did you narrow the D60? and are you running the Ford Calipers - the ones with two pistons? I was thinking that I had to go to 16.5" (hummer rims) for the HUGE ass ford dual calipers to fit.

Also what year 60 is that? I have the later style 60 and have no where near that much space on the drivers side. Going to have to fab the mounts. <br><br>PS are you running the core support I sent you in that rig??

my rims are 16.5, I took the easy way out ;D 4.75bs.<br><br>Basicly I used a 79 rc60. I built radius arms simalar to ones you can get for tj's. I cut the radius arm mounts off the frame and built a mount roughly 12" back for a bushing joint. On the axle side I used rod ends that mount to the extended back coil mount. This pushed the front axle 3-4" forward but keeps the coil inline with the upper coil bucket. For a panhard bar I used a front adjustable track bar of my grand cherokee. This worked out well.<br>For the rear I just welded new perches in the right place and bolted it up. Well I also did a shackle flip with 56" long springs, but the adaption of the axle is the same and very straight forward.<br>
