: Is it usual for FF60 rear lugs to be LHT on one side? BillaVista 05-20-2002, 07:39 PM I was disassembling the FF60 rear that came in my 79F250 today, and not until I had snapped off 2 of the wheel lugs (BIG props to the new impact wrench:eek: ) did I realise that the damn lugs on one side were left hand thread. Is this normal? Seemed strange to me - never heard talk of it before. CrazyCraig 05-20-2002, 07:46 PM are you sure it isn't a 70?? my 70 has right and left handed threads on it. Craig Scout Dude 05-20-2002, 08:00 PM I think it a Ford thing more than a Dana 60 thing... Alpo 05-20-2002, 08:05 PM I 've never heard of Ford doing that. Dodge yes, Ford no. A friends '67 Dart had left and right hand threads on the lug nuts. The left handed ones had a 'L' on the end of the stud. Never seen on a truck though.:( Eric hy_desert_4wheeler 05-20-2002, 10:17 PM I thought that was just a Dodge thing..but only 72 and older both cars and trucks..

Aggro 05-21-2002, 01:14 AM fwIk it's more common on older rigs. emsoffroad 05-21-2002, 01:53 AM I forget the year thing, but I know that if you get a 60 or 61 or 70 from 80sih Ford 2wd, it is common. broncorob 05-21-2002, 05:35 AM From my limited experience with Fords let me see: 68 ford bronco-- NO 94 ford bronco-- NO 01 Excursion -- NO 79 Ford D60 under 94 bronco -- NO 97 Ford 10.25 under 94 bronco -- NO BlueJeep 05-21-2002, 05:45 AM 1983 F250 Diesel 4x4, dana 70 rear, left hand threads on the one side. BillaVista 05-21-2002, 12:37 PM Wow, kinda interesting Not really seeing a pattern...guess I should be a little more thoughtful :D If you saw the mouth breather I bought the truck from, you'd understand that I can really make no claim whatsoever as to the true origin of the axle. All I know is that it is definately a FFD60 rear, about 64" wms, 30 spline, and came loosely attached to a 79 F250. What amazes me is that it took me 2 studs to figure it out....in fact I was breaking the third when I though "Hmm...maybe if I switch to forward I can ram it on a bit, and then work it off more easily" So I flipped it to F, pulled the trigger, and damn if it didn;t spin right off. dayum...call me suprised:eek: Guess I should leave delicate engine work to someone else :rolleyes: Eric 05-21-2002, 01:21 PM The 2wd 78 F250 D60 that I got was 68" wide, right hand threads, 1/2" lugs, 4.10s, with small brakes. The left hand threads for Fords are usually found on vehicles with 3" wide rear brakes from 69-89 some DRW, some SRW. Aggro 05-21-2002, 03:48 PM my '43 originally had them until big-o snapped them all off before realizing the problem.:rolleyes: larryboy 05-21-2002, 04:35 PM thats why i call em BIG-zero not BIG-O:D :D BillaVista 05-21-2002, 06:58 PM Big-Oh Coolio.....I'll send 'em my resume ! ;) | |
