Wow, I bow in your presence!

My first race I ran my 235/75-15 *RECAP* snow tires on the nose, and some 235/75-15 all-season radials on the back! <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">


They had us start w/ the front tires in a mud hole.. I went in a little too far and couldn't even back up to the start line. <IMG SRC="smilies/crybaby2.gif" border="0">

Just got the 1980 Chevy 1-ton Dana 60 (complete all the way out to the manual lockout hubs) home.

It is still sitting on the trailer looking pretty. Gonna wait till tomorrow (because it is getting dark) and unload it with the tractor.

I see some 38-39.5 swampers in my future <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Now you guys need to find some more cheap 60s and share your good fortune with your northern IH brethren. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

And yes, 44s do start to look small after a while.. 'specially after I'd been working on my Travelette with that 11" drop out rear end..

you were hoarding a 60 and didn't offer it to one of us as a gift?

I'm disappointed in you Mike <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

So that means you can't put the 60 under because you have to go check on the

Since someone mentioned Rockwells now I'm
wondering which to install.
I've got a pair of stock open rockwells,
yokes,NIB ujoints,fresh brake job on all
four drums/all new shoes,5 military tires
(20" tires),spring clamps and ubolts.
Should I now install them on my ScoutII or
should I trade all of this stuff for one
good front Dana60? I already have a rear
14bolt that I picked up awhile ago.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

thanks

Trade-em...Too damn heavy, need special rims, have to run drum brakes or fab up some disc's, etc...D60 should be plenty stout enough.

ditto don't waste your time with the rockwells, I've heard of people braking those just as often as FF 14bolts.

the main reason i went rockwells was the price. i sold out my dana 60/14 bolt with a detroit for 2k. it was out of a cuccv ambulance with 4.56s and 8k original miles. took the money bought a set 38x14.5 sxs for my cruiser and still have enough money to pay for the rockwells and locker for the front rockwell[i will just weld the rear] and i can make a pinion mounted disk brake set up for nothing. you use a chevy rotor and caliper. they all ready have 6.72 gearing so no money needs to be spent. the axles are only about 20 pounds heavier[after you remove the brakes] and 1/4 less clearance than a 60, but with a nice smooth round bottom. the drive shafts don't need to have a fortune spent on them because of the flange location. i am going to use a adapter plate from the stock bolt pattern to a wide 5 sprint car rims, so i have cheap and easy rims available. i can build everthing i need to make them work. so for me its the ultimate lowbuck set up. but this is all going in a tube chassie 120 in wheel base rig. the top loaded axles are complete overkill for 38s and down. because you need so much lift to clear the axle. just another idea to throw around. by the way a guy from oklahoma is putting my axles under his scout. i sold them in the for sale section on this board. he is on here all the time, just can't remember his name. just something to think about. if you have good fab skills you can get a set of rockwell set up way cheaper than a sixty/14 bolt. later mike
