Yet AGAIN more W2 360 talk

So after some thought on it, the 8 3/4 is out in favor of a Dana 60. I'm trying to figure out if making a 5x4.5 bolt pattern full floater Dana 60 is even possible. And the W2 heads are out in favor of a W9 set up now as well. Changes and more changes :lol:

I thought trucks went to the 5x5.5" lug pattern in 1981...?

For the Dana, check with the hardcore Jeep guys. Pretty sure some of them run 5-lug D60 in the back of a CJ or Wrangler.

You should also seriously consider a built 9.25", especially in a pickup. (Heck...it was probably built with one.) Maybe 95% as strong as a Dana, but much less cost and lighter. If you need a core to build, they're still abundant in junkyards, everything from Dakotas to 1-ton vans.
