So I am heading to Nebraska to work for a few weeks and after a quick craigslist search they apparently grow Dana 60s next to the cornfields based on how many are around, but most of them are out of duallys. What is required to make these work on a srw application? I know it's searchable but I am too busy packing for this last minute trip. Thanks in advance :thumb:
 
xenomarine just provided me this link:

shows everything you need to know. basically it looks like you just need to have some machine work done on the ends. I have no idea how much that costs though.
well hot damn, looks like i'm useful. get a machine shop to machine your hubs to clear the wheels and true up the wheel mounting surface, or you can go the expensive route and get new hubs.(read: $450ish with rotors)

i got new rotors only because i have a dodge axle with external locking hubs, but any chevy dually hub should have internals and would be better suited to being machined. the place around here does it for around $150, but expect at least 100 for that much machining. make friends with the local high schoolers if they have a metal shop with a big ass lathe :thumb::thumb: just don't get arrested.
