What are some ideas on a bomb proof d60 front?
I'm thinking:
5.13 gears/ARB
35 spline inners/outers
Warn hubs
CTM joints
YOU?????

Why dutchman? dutchman was just the first name that popped into my head... could be moser, currie, etc. just a personal preference over Warn, i think that they are only good for winches :D road1will 03-15-2002, 04:19 PM oh yeah and there are HD knuckles out there... i think that Wagoner Machine makes some??? camo 03-15-2002, 04:54 PM here is the "camo" proof front 60 i am building tera 60 housing 3 1/2" x .250 cro-mo axle tubes 40 spline ARB spicer 5:38 r/c gears 40 spline 1.75" dia gun drilled 300m inner axles 4340 axle yoke.

I'm not going that bullet proof but I am going: Ford RC 60 Detroit 5.13 gears 35 spline inners/outers CTM Joints Drive flanges Alloy shaft of choice... I think I am going to stick with stock Ford everything else until I break then I will upgrade:D Supergper 03-15-2002, 05:05 PM Originally posted by aaronlosey how about this new guy. sweet!!!http://www.rockcrawler.com/features/newsshorts/02march/dynatrac_prorock60_rp_550.jpg Yep we all see that "D" word cast into the right side...$$$...but it does look sweet:D Brawler 03-15-2002, 05:34 PM Originally posted by camo here is the "camo" proof front 60 i am building tera 60 housing 3 1/2" x .250 cro-mo axle tubes 40 spline ARB spicer 5:38 r/c gears 40 spline 1.75" dia gun drilled 300m inner axles 4340 axle yoke.

I'm doing the same, but sticking with 1350 yoke and 35 spline axles.

And do like camo and run aftermarket centersection. Ford hp60's are the weakest factory housing you can get. Then chevy, then aftermarket. Don't argue. Go get a ford , chevy tera, and dynatrac center, hold 'em all side by side and compare and weigh then argue, if you still want to. lt1yj 03-16-2002, 08:55 AM Camo - Is Sandy building your axle? I talked to him a week ago and he's building one very similar. Do you have the part number for the 1410 pinion yoke? Do you have a part number for the32 spline 1410 yoke for a 205 or 241? 9-Volt - Who makes 5:38's for a RC 60? The lowest I could find were 5:13's. mj 03-16-2002, 10:04 AM the 1410 yoke for 205 is stock dodge on the cummins trucks 8?-93 Dirty Harry 03-16-2002, 10:59 AM Originally posted by lt1yj 9-Volt - Who makes 5:38's for a RC 60? The lowest I could find were 5:13's. They only started producing them a few months ago. I can't recall the manufacturer right now (Richmond maybe?).

Po' riggity 03-16-2002, 12:20 PM Originally posted by camo basically i am building the baddest 60 in the country. :D and you are building the most expensive 60 in the country. Must be nice :rolleyes: :D Scott camo 03-16-2002, 12:36 PM .250 wall because it will be lighter. cro-mo because it is stronger yes sandy is building it. sandy cone builds 300m d60 axles it will cost me little bit more than a dynatrac 60. by stock i meant parts that came on the 60 i am cutting up. :D Supergper 03-16-2002, 12:39 PM Originally posted by camo sandy cone builds 300m d60 axles Does he only do the 40 spline ones or does he do 35 spline too and can you get them in custom lengths...ie 35 spline outers for a ford and you said about $600 a set right??? JEEPRZ 03-16-2002, 12:55 PM Whats the PN/ application for the knuckle yokes on the 2-piece axles? Are these being fabbed up as well? Could this be done with a 35 spliner? I will prolly have some Warn rear 35 spline FF shafts takin up space, and something like this could work for my 35 spline ford stubs... if i can get a yoke GhettoRig 03-16-2002, 01:15 PM Originally posted by lt1yj 9-Volt - Who makes 5:38's for a RC 60? The lowest I could find were 5:13's. I got mine from Randy's Ring and Pinion. One reverse set, one standard, one box said Richmond on it, the other said Yukon. I can't remember which is which. I think the reverse cut 5.38s came in the Richmond box. I got mine in late November, or early December, so if they've only been available 4 months I must have gotten one of the first sets...:D JEEPRZ 03-16-2002, 01:27 PM Richmond made the 5.38s a few years ago, then stopped, then started again... camo 03-16-2002, 03:51 PM they are custom made to what ever size you want. yes a 35 spline 300m set of axles run about 600 plus the yokes. 1.75 40 spline gun drilled ones are around 750 a set plus yokes there is no part number for my yokes cause they are custom made. you can get a 35 spline spicer pinion yoke from spicer that will work if you only want a factory non alloy part. i forget the p/n but it is from a dana 80 out of a crystler. you could also use a stock axle yoke and have it broached with what ever size spline you want.
