Chevy front Dana 60

[agjohn02]

got one?

what is the market value for a junkyard one. what'll you pay on average for one. not a great deal, just what i can expect.

[AggieTJ2007]

a know a guy that can find you a junkyard one, but it will probably be around $500+

[uglyota]

Creighton if you can find jyard 60s for $500 you should buy as many as you can and sell them for 50% profit on pirate. You'd turn them over in hours. John from what I've seen (Doug will have more insight) $600 or so is a killer deal on a complete kingpin 60. You can find them all day long for $1200. Anywhere in between would probably constitute a "decent" deal.

[agjohn02]

thats what ive been seeing

creighton, find one.

[eight]

Yes Creighton, find me a few too.

[sasquatch]

Since we are on junkyard findings, if you happen to see a ford dana 20 for fairly cheap let me know.

[AggieTJ2007]

I have a ford dana 20. ill go ask the guy about Dana 60's tomarrow durring lunch

[AggieTJ2007]

what year trucks for the Dana 60's he only knows by year model

[agjohn02]

hmm, 92 and newer one ton chevy 4x4

[Graystroke]

I need an early 70's to '91 one-ton front end, dana 60 pass drop (chevy or dodge will work for me) see if he's got one and I will come pick it up.

[Doug Krebs]

hmm, 92 and newer one ton chevy 4x4

ummmmmm no... you would get an IFS suspension

[agjohn02]

ummmmmm no... you would get an IFS suspension


yeah, i know, thats the plan. IFS jeep.



oops, meant older, but the same thing grayson is looking for basically

don't quote me on this but i think anything older than 78 is an 8 lug 10 bolt. so you want between 78 and 92

[Graystroke]

I think that's 3/4, right?

[Sharpe]

Yes. Also, earlier models had necked down inner shafts.

[Doug Krebs]

1 Tons before 78 had an 8 lug 10 bolt. I'm not sure what you were asking...

[Doug Krebs]

Unless you're set on chevy, you can get a dodge also. Thats what I put in the front of the blazer. They are 2 inches narrower and the spring pads are 1/2" more spread apart than a chevy. Most dodges have the selectro lock out, but later models like the one I have are internal lockouts.

[Graystroke]

i want the dodge military axles w/ drive flanges

[Fredo]

I think some of the mid 70's dodges with 203's had drive flanges up front...can't really remember though.

[tigweld]

only if it is srw

sounds good to me. ive never really researched all the years. im afraid if i start learning about them for no good reason, then ill want one. now i can start learning. its not my money buying it.


78-92 chevy d60 it is!

...or whichever dodge ones are good too.

i passed on a chevy 1 ton dually saturday that had a 454, 4 speed, 205, front 60 and not for sure on rear end for $650 at a auction. it was driveable to. they also had a 83 toy 4x4 that didn't run to good and it went for $800.

bastard! that could have been my tow rig. Any idea if it is still available?

[chevsu]

the guy that bought it really wanted it. so i would think he drove it to work on monday.

what auctions are these?

[chevsu]

ones i can't tell you about. junk mainly, farm stuff

[CRaSHnBuRN]

yeah, I've been to a couple of those car and farm auctions. I've seen several 2.5 ton rockwell trucks go for under 500 bucks a piece, a FJ40 for $700, and several EBs in various states from $300-900. The funniest was a K30 single cab 4x4. It was decent looking, but the afternoon before the auction I stopped by and crawled underneath it only to find someone had yanked the D60 and swapped in a 10 bolt. The u bolts were only hand tight, the driveshaft was tied up with bailing wire, and the shocks were only hanging there. The next day I saw 2 guys get into a bidding war over it simply because they saw the one ton tag on the side and thought it had a 60. Neither one had the slightest clue what it actually was

[JeepPhisherman]

well go be me an uglytruck and I dont need to know

[CRaSHnBuRN]

good lord, 1400 dollars for a stock D60?

[JB]

and a 14bolt

[Sharpe]

**** that. CUCV axles might be worth that much if you are desperate, but not non-built civi axles.

[JeepPhisherman]

I'd be interested in the 44 if it wasnt in ****ing mejico

[JB]

somebody WILL pay that much, maybe not here, but somebody will.

[Sharpe]

If hes willing to ship...maybe. Otherwise no. I went through the same thing. I had a COMPLETE set of 1 tons in a running truck that I was trying to get $1100 for but no one would bite.

[uglyota]

why wouldn't you be willing to ship a big money item like that? I'd drive to Austin for $100

[Sharpe]

Driving to deliver is one thing but shipping across the country is another. And in case you havent bought anything from me before, yes I do deliver high dollar parts.

[uglyota]

There's a Forward Air in Austin

[Sharpe]

And? Palleting it and all that crap is still a huge PITA not to mention driving all the way there to drop it off.

[uglyota]

the guys there are cool...they'll forklift it out of the back of your truck and stick it on a pallet for you if you need it. I thought you'd have shipped with them before.

[JeepPhisherman]

its not comming from austin

[uglyota]

I realize that. The point was driving an hour or so (to the nearest Fwd Air location) in order to market nationwide

[JeepPhisherman]

I realize that. The point was driving an hour or so (to the nearest Fwd Air location) in order to market nationwide

ah

[Sharpe]

No, I've never freighted anything before. I try to avoid it and sell localy for a little cheaper, cause I'm lazy.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

somebody WILL pay that much, maybe not here, but somebody will.

you say that, but I sat on the HP D60 for how long? Like three months before I sold it for $900. I tried selling it on pirate, and while I had a lot of interest, no one would come up with the money. Yes, someone may buy it, but how long are you willing to wait for someone crazy or dumb enough to pay that much?

[stx4wheeler]

yeah and the gears in the 60 and 14 arent even matching gears, that guy is from backhome and very nuts, he wants mogs or portals, funny thing is his truck hasnt ran in like three years.

[davido]

Andy may be willing to part with some P I M P mog axles.

Took me 10 days to get 900, and that was for a junkyard axle in TX. The buyer drove from Ft worth to CS to get it
