I have been reading all the D60 threads on here and have a couple questions.
I am looking to move from my current 78/79 FW D44 from a FSB to a Dana 60 for a few reasons. I really like the current width of my axles and do not want to go any wider. What is a better kingpin axle to start with the 78/79 or the 80 up (to ball joint anyway) axles.
It seems like the 80 up shift the housing over 3 inches toward the drivers side. I have seen a few people state they are using this, and I have seen a few other posts saying you can't because it puts the housing right under the frame rail?
I am running Duffs/Cage radius arms, and want to keep the bolt pattern 5 on 5.5. My plan is to cut the housing down, on the passenger side to the same width of the 79/79 HP D44.
What is the the better housing for an EB if;
1. I want to cut the long side down
2. Center the diff with the transfer case
3. Keep my track width the same as my current FW D44
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis
