i like how it is drilled to clock it however you wish
Cody and I shaved the D60 today. Didn't want to turn down the ring gear - ended up with 1" more clearance. The ring gear is about 1/16" from the bottom.
looks awesome
Very Badass, I'm jealous.
how is the cover going to seal?
is that the new fangled process for those metal impregnated bearings?
I want a diff shaving machine too!
probably a way to keep the housing straight ;)Quote:

what do ya'll think about this?

I have a bunch of stuff to order:
Ford 9 chunk - 35 spline, detroit, alum. housing, 1480 yoke
8 lug 4340 shafts for the Ford 9 - with bearings
disc brake set-up for the Ford 9.
35 spline 4340 shafts for the front
new knuckles for the front
kingpin rebuild for the front
u-joints for the front or Bobby Long D60 CV joints:

he also has some nice u-joints that might be worth it over the CTM joints.
locking hubs
still need some Chevy outers.
Where should I get all this stuff? I only want to build these axles ONCE. I want to buy the best stuff, install it, and never have to think about them again (except for grease). Any suggestions?
stick with your roots man, bobby's 60 birfs.
looks like a lot of the comp rig buidups lately are running the truehi9, if that means anything
sweet only 2300 bucks for 60birfs. Sounds like a deal to me

I've thought about it, but I'm lazy about things that already work. :D I've also never been afraid of breaking the rearend no matter what I do. Dump the clutch, whatever. I've also never had a problem hanging my front.
Seems the breakage rate is allready about zero with 4340 shafts and joints in a d60 front. I think you should sell that whole dodge axle and buy a chevy one. Or sell the shafts from the dodge one to me.
you don't hang out with the same people that I do... It's much more common than you think to break 4340 stuff and "unbreakable" CTM joints.Quote:
