Could someone that has a 14 bolt that is torn apart give me the measurements of the spindle. Basically starting at the seal surfarce width, inner bearing surface width, space between inner and outer bearing width, outer bearing surface width, and then finally the thread area width.

Looking into possibility of running Dana 60 dually hubs on a 14 bolt rear, using double splined shafts and flanges or locking hubs. I know, why? Just looking at different possibilities. Thanks.

Why make things hard on yourself? Just leave the GM engineering alone.
 
my bad i ment to have the laughing face in, it was just a joke. i think it would be interesting and cool to see, but its alot of work. what would the wms be? 4wheel steer would be sweet tho

You mean to make it a steerable axle?
 
Basically I'm looking at the possibilities of putting Chevy Dana 60 dually hubs on a non-modified 14 bolt rear axle. So you it would be the same width as a dually front axle, locking hubs or drive flanges could be installed and axle shafts splined on both ends would be used. Also this would get rid of wheel spacers. The bearings have the same I.D. and I have found a wheel seal the will fit the 14 bolt seal surface and inside the Dana 60 hub. Another possibility would be to run the early Dodge Dually Dana 60 hubs with the external hubs because the bolt pattern on the external locking hub bolt pattern might be the same as the 14 bolt axle shafts. Just thinking out of the box a little.

so it would be a steering axle or no? if not, why not just use a 70HD?
 
I'm running H1 wheels with stock offset, I would also like to have as little of the hub sticking out as possible. Maybe get some of the smooth wheels covers and just slide past the rocks! ;)

Subscribed! Man, that's a cool idea!:waytogo: I was looking at a set of dually hubs from a 60, I too thought it may be doable, if you pull this off, post up how! It'd be great for somebody with a setup like my buddy's: he bought a Blazer that had 60/14BFF under it already, both axles in great shape! He's got a full set of stock center H1's and 37's and doesn't want to go to recentered rims (likes the original military look), it'd be perfect! Heck, I'd even be tempted to go this route on my rig! Sorry I can't give ya any helpful info :doah:, just encouragement, good luck! ;)
 
I found a set of Dodge dually external spline hubs and they are on the way to the house. I'll keep you posted on the mods.

To run stock H1s with a 14FF you need a 14FF wide dually (yes they make them). It is the same width as a 70HD. If you put SRW 14FF hubs on it, it will be the same width as a 60 front and only have about 2" hub stickout.

About the same stickout as a factory lockout on a front 60. If you want it flush a 2" spacer will take the rim to the edge of the axle flange on a SRW 14FF hub.
