Dana 60 front lug pattern - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

How hard would it be to convert a newer Ford D60 front with the 8x170mm pattern to the old 8x6.5" pattern to match a rear axle I just got? What all would have to be swapped?

I looked in tech and the 60 bible and didn't see anything about it.

Edit- Just out of curiosity, would most of ya'll think a 2001 DRW Ford high-pinion D60 would be worth $500? That's what the guy wants for the front I'm looking at.

So just have the hubs filled and re-drilled and get new rotors/calipers to match? I want to run the same wheels on all 4 corners.

Sorry about the typos...BBQ, 4th July, Beer. I am sure can understand.. There people here who have welded them up and had them re drilled... Seams like a lot of work, when you can just go to the yard and get the parts you want.

So the hubs off an 8x6.5" will bolt right onto there? The actual hub itself is the only difference? If so, that's be excellent.

the older shit being the ttb 50/60 outer correct,

then you get the non unit bearing spindles and normal locking hubs as well as the bolt pattern.

I think I'm gonna hold out for an older one. That one would still have balljoints plus I'd have to buy the parts to make it match.
