New Dana 60 Help please

If you really want use that, prepare for a LOT of work. What ratio is it and year model is it out of? Identify what you have and what ratio it is first. That looks those the standard HD 8 on 6-1/2 truck pattern. Get a picture of the spring pads and the yoke for us. It looks to be a single rear wheel (not dually) axle, but those can be found in Dana 70 versions. If it is a single wheel 70, it will bring a nice chunk of change from someone over on the first Gen Cummins forum. And it will be way too big for practicality what with the 10-3/4 ring gear size as opposed to the 9-3/4 60. If it’s a HD 60, then it will have cast ductile steel spring pads on the axle tubes. But it will also have the same 35 spline axle shafts as the Dana 70. That may be a bonus, depending on how much power you may be planning on. But, you’re going to need to narrow it and put 8-3/4/Dana 60 passenger car housing ends on it, and aftermarket axles. This would also let you use shelf 8-3/4 (if 30 spline) a or 67-70 b body length axles if you set the rear axle width to them. If it’s 35 spline, you’re probably looking at something else there. And of course you’ll need different brake backing plates and brake drums or a disc brake kit that bolts up to the new housing ends. As well as New U bolts and spring mounting plates, and maybe a different drive line yoke (the 70 is easily identified by the 3 inch wide yoke with 1-1/4 u joint caps, I’ve been dismantling a lot of these lately, I should know!). And the main reason you need to know the exact year and number series (D,W,or B200 or 300 for early, D,W, or B 250 or 350 for pare) is because the earlier ones can have all sorts of different spline counts, which means that you’d probably also need to change the diff carrier/locker. It’s a long way from a direct bolt in no matter what.
