i just picked up 8 feet of 4x3 1/4 inch tubing to use as my rock sliders i also cut out the rockers tonight to fit it in there after i weld it to the body im going to put 3 2 inch round pipes from the slider to the frame to stiffen everything up. i decided to wait on fixing the floor till the sliders were done since its easier to access everthing without floors there.
Wish put my sliders in while I had the floor out or before the doors were welded shut

Good luck, it took me like 2 months of craigslist twice a day to find a decent 60. I will keep my eye out for you though

how much did you pay
$1000 with a 14 bolt thrown in sold that for $100 so $900

ya damn well i dont think i can pay that i would rather get one that needed to be rebuild for 500 and rebuild it even if it ended up being 1000 in the end i would feel better knowing for a fact that all the stuff in it was for sure good. i think im just going to try and get a job at pick and pull. then i can snatch one up right when it comes in.
Usually 60fronts go for $1000 that need to be rebuilt.......My 60 was $800
Detroit-$600
crossover steering-around $600
diff cover-$100
gears-$200
rotors, brakes, king pins.......$$$ And thats me doing the labor......
That sounds about right though crossover can be done a little cheaper with a junkyard box and pitman arm. I have about 300 into mine with a mix of junkyard, offroad unlimited and offroad design parts. With a the granny low of the 465 you can get away with the stock 4.10/4.56 and big tires.
