D60 (noob) help needed. - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I'm building my first ground-up crawler (on a budget).

I started with a '87 YJ, I've got a small block Chevy in it, and just picked up an SM465 and NP205 for behind the V-8.

I'd like to do D60s front and rear, but most of the Chevy/GMC trucks in the 'yards have GM fronts under them, and I haven't found any heavy Dodge rigs to pick over. There's plenty of Fords, but I need a right hand diff.

Do any of you guys know of a good, low buck source of D60 front ends?

if there are plenty of ford king pin 60s with a DSD, buy them. sell them at profit. use the profit to buy a PSD.
