8 lug front coversion kit

You're not wrong.

I will leave the bearings in the hubs and you can decide if you want to replace them or not.
 
If you're really serious, I will need to remove everything from the axle to put in a box and weigh it to get a quote.
 
Don't do that yet then. I'm pretty serious about it but I'm still teetering between converting my 10B and swapping in a D60. I know I'm going to 14BFF in the rear then trading my 35s for 37s on H1 bead locks. I'm going to either leave the front open or put in a limited slip of some sort. Definitely not a selectable locker if I stick with the 10B. Sorry to drop all that on you but its decision making time for me and I just can't make one. So, don't do the work just to get the shipping weight. When I make a decision, I'll let you know.
 
Ok, no prob.

As much as I change my mind all the time, I may go ahead and tear the 10B apart anyways because I can't find a buyer for it and the matching 14FF rear, so I'd rather keep the rear and part out the front.
I've got the shafts listed already. Might put up the knuckles and housing as spares, etc. Someone out there must need one.
 
The next few days are supposed to be cooler, so I will get out and tear the front axle apart and get everything weighed for a quote.
 
some help for you since I have shipped many of these. hubs, spindles, backing plates, bearings, spindle nuts and washers, wheel studs weigh 77 lbs. 2 lbs less if they are external style locking hubs. I never ship the calipers because the added weight makes the box to heavy and the charges go through the roof.

but you can fit 2 calipers in a flat rate box. :wink1:
 
I shipped this stuff but with rotors once. Damn box was HEAVY.

Your quote may be dead on but all depends on the box size and wrapping/stuffing inside of it to keep everything still.
 
I use packing peanuts. I usually just save any that I get from stuff shipped to me.
 
Box measures 10 x 14 x 21 and weighs 90 lbs. in case anyone else wants to get a shipping quote.
