dana 60 rockwell shafts

[chevyboy123]

i was wonderinering could this be done i have a closed knucle 60 and i have heard they have the same offset but havent found any verification any way ill try and tear down my 60 to get shaft lengths dous any one know the shaft length for a rockwell front

I don't know the exact lengths on the 60 or rock shafts, but I can tell you that the cost of machining everything out (and making completely new parts like spindles and such) so that the rock shafts will fit will probably be less than a set of longs CV's. ;)

If I am reading this correctly, you want to put rock shafts into a 60? If thats the case you will need custom knuckles and inner C's for one or find a set like these (picture courtesy of Steve Gerstner) these are from some funky FWD dana 70 iirc. I talked to him about this before and it would be very expensive without a doubt. Wade

Oh yea did I say those knuckles and inner C's are very rare!!! And yes that is a rock shaft in that picture.

I have seen fully fabbed inner and outer knuckles so i am sure making room for the ujoints is posible. but like it was said above, you will have to get all the spindles machined to fit, have custom drive flanges made and i am sure a lot more custom one off parts. if you are goin to do that much work just swap in a set of rocks under your rig and call it a day. and then spend the money on some custom stuff for your new built proof axles.

im a machinist so i do the machine work but custom knuckles sound like a pain

would a multi piece knucle be too weak it would worlds easier to build

In short, Yes (with out loads of work put into the welding process).

Can be Stronger. See Welderboy's. Sunray's and Spidertrax's will fit the 1550 Rock U-joint.

I was thinking of something completely different, I stand corrected good sir. :smokin:

i didn't type that right. i didn't want to sound like i was calling you out, i was just wondring what rock joint is a 1550. im trying to figure out what the real size of the joint is ( a rockwell ). ive herd that there 1700 series U-joints. so i was trying to put a number on the U-joints thats all.

agin i typed that wrong.
