I have a dana 60 with 4.10s out of a 01 f-350 if i were to slap it under the front of my 2500hd 2wd, how difficult would the steeering components come together? The idea is get the axle under the truck, get an alignment, get it drivable and worry about a transfer case and the driveshafts later. I'm trying to get the parts together and do the install this time next year.

you might want to check out this site www.offroadunlimited.com

they have a host of info on what your getting ready to do


did the 60 come with all drag links?was there any steering intact with the axle, pitman arm etc?while your getting ready for the sas you should start sourcing some other front end parts,spring hangers,what leafs your gonna run, it's just an opinion but iv'e always had good results when finding a donor vehicle to get the parts from,sometimes it works out cheaper..

your already in good with the most important part....that 60....sweet

Seen ORU, did give me a little insight. Was thinking bout using the leaf springs off of the rear of a 74 chevy, along with the hangers. I'll be taking a lot of measurements in October when i go home for a week. I'm in South carolina and all the parts are in Texas. as for whats on the axle I'm not sure. I haven't touched it since I pulled it from a junkyard and put it in my barn almost 4yrs ago. Had plans for it but the chair force got me sidetracked.
