is this a good price for a d60 front?

[unicknn]

I put out a search on a few junkyard web pages for a d60 front and this was sent to me.

"I have a rebuilt Dana 60 front axle with 4.56 gears and all new single wheel ends for $1900.00 complete. Please call me at the toll-free number listed below if I can help you further. Thanks"

To me that seems a little much but what do yall think?

Thats a good price... if lubricatoin is included and you can cuddle afterwards.

Well if it's truely "rebuilt" with new seals, any bad bearings replaced, complete with brake calipers, new rotors, pads and new tierod....It's not a bad price. Average price for a "rebuildable" D60 is about $1100-1200. New seals and the works would easlily add $500 on the average Rebuildable. You can find better deals if your paitent but if you wanted one now and can confirm that is rebuilt then it's a fair price.

Well, I paid $800 for my D60 from a junkyard, then add the following (all prices rounded to the nearest $10);

Ring and pinion with install kit $300
Track lok to replace the open dif $200
Bearings and seals $100 or so....
Labor for ring and pinion install with new kingpin bushings, seals, lower bearing and seal, springs, grease zerks, and sandblasting price $550

So you can easily put close to a thousand dollars into a trashed axle.

If it is completely rebuilt, tell him to buy you a detroit to go with it, then id be all over it. My buddy is buying one next wednesday for $900 and his old trashed d44. Not a great deal, but i guess its average.

I will be picking up a Dana 60 and a 14 bolt with Detroit locker and 4.56 gears this afternoon from a guy who deals in military surplus parts and vehicles. Both axle housings are complete and came out of running vehicles. I will be paying $1600 for the set. As of two weeks ago, he had two other Dana 60s and multiple 14 bolt, Detroit locked rear ends for sale as well. I will find out this afternoon if he still has the other Dana 60s and if they are still for sale.
