Locating a Dana 60 front

[73CamperSpecial]

How hard is it to come by a D60 front, can you find them at scrap yards? Thanks!

It is unlikely you'll find one in any CA scrap yard. Everyone knows there's a market for them. Supposedly the best deals are found by buying a whole truck for just the axle and then parting it out.

In Cali?? Good luck!

Deals are scarce in CA . I did find a few at wreckers when shopping for mine. Usually 800 for a DRW .900 for SRW. I ended up goin to central oregon. If i had to do it again i would have got a whole truck and parted it out.

Hijack on for a minute.

What's up with the dual tank truck beds? I just had a fellow brother here ask if I'm selling mine off my Crew Cab, Now this?

It's just a long bed, I can run down to Pick-n-pull and probably find a dozen of them right now!

I was thinking of picking up another one and making a trailer out of it.

Can`t find any long beds around here that are decent, most trucks just getting crushed.

I am roofing a 14x14 roof for a lady at church. D60 sitting in the back yard is mine for the work. She says she has no idea what her ex has in the 4 buildings out back. But he was always working on something. I get first look.

No she is not worth the time.

I robbed the d60 from my crew cab... They're pricey up here... Good deals are to be had if you are always looking though...

I just cut the floor out of a decent dual tank bed to build the wheel wells on the blazer...
