yep, those stock cast third members suck - I'm not going to use one of those... That was Troys - from Matt driving it in a comp in Truckee CA - where Nick lives...
I ground / sanded my shaved D60 and made a diff cover today
Lee's rear Ford 9 is 62" wide. I could run some 2" wheel adapters and be pretty close to my 67" front - Sounds like my current plan.

Cool. Now come do mine. How did you recommend I cut mine off (sans mill)?
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
Looks cool. I'm curious why you didn't go with the Dana thick diff cover.

I should have bought one of those - it would have been a much better starting point - but I just used what I had. Should be fineOriginally Posted by AgDieseler
David, I would just cut it out with a cutting wheel or something, seems alot easier.
I changed the bolts to butten heads and that bolt now only needs minimal grinding.
Hope it seals!

7" grinder makes quick work of the lip. About 5 minutes. I think I get about 5/8" off the d60. And a 14 bolt has more to remove. You get a little more with Scott's method, but its more work.
