picked up a 60 today, the guy i bought it from is AWESOME! he owns a axle and gear shop south of salinas ca as well as a fab shop. He builds some sick stuff, from custom buggys to race cars. he has 6 used 60s to choose from, tons of cool stuff around there. it was like walking through a candy shop for a little kid. Found a 89 ford f-250 he just a cummins swap on, saw his personal 2009 dodge 2500 with all the goodies, his show trucks. its was a good day. tomorrow i will do some clean up on the axle.
Build plans

1. blasted and powder coated
2. New SRW hubs and rotors
3. Drive flanges (suggestions on brand?)
3. u-bolts and plates from WFO
4.WFO heavy duty steering arm and adjustable kingpin screws.
5. ARB front diff cover

if i have anything left over, a Eaton e-locker

anyone know where i can buy a srw hub and rotor assembly with the internals possibly with drive flanges?
 
good find! but unless ur dead set on getting an ARB diff cover. u could probably save some money by getting a DIY4X cover or a greatlakesoffroad cover. then u can put the money saved towards say good wheel bearings or something.just my opinion!:whistle:
 
found them, looks like i need around 1k to get the hubs, rotors, and drive flanges. looking for stuff to sale

Yeah he got a DRW for $800, that is too much even for here in CA, $700 is on the high end, and you can find them as low as $400.
BUt then again, one can always try, I did sell some of my D60's for good money, and some for decent money, I never gave mine away.:D

I saw the DRW part, but even that isnt terrible, atleast down here. maybe south bay isnt as good as sac but even the one DRW i was gonna get out of oroville was still $600. not a bad price, but not a great price. as long as its not in tooo bad of shape its still all right.
 
cheapest you can find in my area is $1100, yes DRW. sorry if that sounds stupid but thats what they go for around here. sold a SRW 60 last summer for $1500 first day i posted it.
 
another question: can i use my DRW brake calipers on a SRW rotors? or do i need to buy new ones

DRW and SRW rotors are the same other than the holes in the SRW rotors are a little bigger to fit the press in wheel stud, easy to drill them out. The calipers are the same for both.
 
Got my srw 60 for $500 and the guy threw in a gearless 14 bolt and a rear dana 60. Thats way to much for a drw 60. Now look at how much you need to spend to get it to work.
 
thanks for the help guys. i said he wants $800 per axle, i never said i paid $800. I gave him $700 for it. around here, thats a good price
