i have a 87 k5 and i found a dana 60 with 4.10 gears for the front of the blazer, its off of a 84 k30 at a local junkyard, the price is 350, and i was wondering if anyone things this is a good deal,thanks
Heck yes it is a good deal. Buy it now. Or let someone else take it, but act quick, cause for that price a wave of people from here will be all over it!
<font color=blue>'79 ONE TON TPI K5 - See it at---><a target="_blank" href=http://www.blazzinor.rockcrawler.com>www.blazzinor.rockcrawler.com</a>
junkyards dont seem to care about what a part is worth to us, they just want 50-75 for 1/2 ton 150-200 for 3/4 and 300-350 for 1 ton axles. Its this way at every damn bone yard i visit except for the mom and pop shops and they seem to want 100 bucks for anything that is heavy. problem is they hardly ever have anything good!
Most bone yards around here know exactly what a Dana 60 is and unfortuantely they know how much they're worth. If you can find 60's for $350 around your place don't hold out on us!! I'm still dreaming of the day I see a K30 at the Pick N Pull.

i hear ya SAVAGE1, the problen is finding them. its rare but they do pop up every so often. some better than others. All the yards in my area use computers these days and wont let you "salvage" through the yards anymore. What happened to the good old days?
