D60 Lockouts

[sandawgk5]

less splines is a good thing now?! Most good aftermarket flanges have much more contact area between the flange and the axle than your average hub or warn-style thinner flanges... they should be stronger.

You are talking about flanges and the 35 is weaker than 30 argument is speaking of locking hubs. The main problem is with the increase in spline count you have to increase the shaft diameter. Doing this on a locking hub decreases material on the gear in the hub with no gain in thickness to increase contact area. This cause the internals of a 35 spline locking hub to be inherently weaker than a 30 spline locking hub.

i got a set of hubs a smokkin deal but are there 2 types of d60 hubs internal and external?

Yes.......all Chevy's I've seen have the internal hubs. A lot of Dodge front 60's had external hubs.

mine look external but have no bolts like the external ones? hmm

well the 30spline warns i ordered from porc same, except they are 35spline. looks like ill be goin 35spline instead

well finally got stuff pulled apart i got a steel on the hubs bought them locally for $ 107 for some nice warn ones so i can't complain

30s or 35s?

now i jus need to find some 35spline outers
