Having difficulty finding the thread, it won't go straight to it so how did you look it up?

That should go right to the thread.......

Does it still work for you? What part of the forum did you look in ?

 

[Hoss7979]

I tried several different ways to look at it, on both mobile and desktop and couldn't get access to the flea market or parts for sale on chevyk5blazer.com. is the post still up or do you have any ideas of another way I can look it up? The only thing I can think of is the administration for the site hasn't approved me yet so I don't have full site access.

If you're on bookface I would recommend joining all the crawler/4x4/offroad boards.

Here's a 4.10 DRW Kingpin D60 that just popped up this morning in South Lake Tahoe

Thank you. Damn, it's a dodge dually

 

[skunked]

Even though it's DRW it's still a good deal given the market around here.

I know there's a with difference that ORD sells the offset poly bushings for, I can't remember if there are any other differences? I think the tie rod mounts higher but I want to do a high steer/crossover conversion w/ hydro assist anyway.

83chevyk5blazer just did the ORD bushing swap on his K5 with a Dodge 60 and said the bushings were perfect.

Dodge axles are ok until you want to upgrade to 35 spline outers, afaik no one offers an external type 35 spline locking hub. It's easy enough to swap on Chevy / internal bearing hubs but that's an expensive conversion. There's always the drive flange option if it doesn't see a lot of street driving.

They also almost always have external hubs which break easier than internal ones and have nearly zero aftermarket support for locking hubs/drive flanges

Thank you for chiming in Chris. You were the one that gave me the advice to look for a Chevy Dana 60 because it would bolt straight in to the lift kit on my K5 that you guys set me up with. Don't suppose you have a line on a front axle or should I email you directly?

If you plan on swapping to SRW hubs I thought you could just swap to the internal style locking hub at the same time... If so there's a guy selling a pair of Chevy SRW hubs on Pirate right now with the rotors and all the bearings, races, etc included.

I got mine 4.56s for 900 for the front and rear there out there just gotta look.

Just looked, thanks for the heads up.

Where did you find a steal like that and how long ago?

 

[Hoss7979]

Time to travel to Michigan......

 

[Rugby_7]

Just picked this up for $400, its DRW and is going to have to be gone through. There are deals that come up on craigslist but like everyone says have to watch it like a hawk.

There are deals out there but usually just in the midwest or towards the east coast. Out here in CA where the OP, myself, and a few others are at, they usually run $1000-1400 while needing need quite a bit of work and that's if you can find one at all...

Well if some company ( Hint Hint ) would start making some drive flanges.......I know I would buy a set. Mine are 35 years old now and just waiting to explode.
