ebay d60f/d70r, 5.87 gears

That would be the stock steering setup ( for that vehicle).
You did notice it has front drum brakes? Also the closed knuckle design isnt that bad, its that the m-715 front 60s have smaller shafts from what I've heard. I think the inners are the same but the stubs are small. I suppose you could cut the outer off and put some dana open knuckle inner "c"s on then put regular d60 outers. Also those Kaiser's have a goofy big 6-lug bolt pattern so good luck finding wheels unless you convert.

I don't think parts are that hard to find for these, you just gotta know where to look (my dad happens to have a 98 kaiser m-715 :) )
 
i have my d60f/14bff, i was just posting those off of ebay....i have become intimidated by by d60f/14bff, i've never worked on a ff or king pins and its a whole different animal from ball joint 1/2 & 3/4 ton stuff, which i know like the back of my hand, but i've never rebuilt a king pin....heck i can't even find a 6 prong socket to try and start pulling it apart, autozone,advance,&o'reileys has told me the 4 prong socket they have in stock, that i already own several,..they swear its the socket i need(some even say 3/4/1 ton on package), i guess i'm going to go track a snappy truck down...or napa havent been there. if i find 1 w/6 prongs will it be right or are there different diameters and different 6 prongs like different lug bolts? are they same...the d60 & 14bff nuts?

can you buy a rebuild kit for a d60 that will have everything you need to rebuild 1 from hub to hub,..or will i have to buy several sub-assemblies to get everything to rebuild the axle...wheres best place to get said parts....i saw stuff on ebay,..can it be trusted?
 
I got my hub socket from NAPA. I had the nut with me though so we could match it up. I actually took the nut off with punch and hammer. knocked it loose then spun it off. I know it's not the right way but I had a hub socket kit. None of the sockets would work. Now I have the correct socket, but its still a pita to tighten that nut up
