Man I wish. I'll Still be sitting at 4.5", 31s, 3.55s, and Open Diffs for the Trip. My HP44 is already sitting in the garage just begging for a rebuild. But I can only go as fast as the paychecks allow. I got a pretty good deal on the 60. Like I said it's a Full-Floater w/4.10 gears and it's lincoln locked. Complete drum to drum and the spring perches are already setup for an XJ, $150 delivered to my garage..........
They are gonna stay full width. The HP44 is out of a 75' F100, so it was a half-ton with drum brakes. I now have just about all the parts for the 3/4 Chevy Disc Conversion, just picked up my chevy outer stubs yesterday for 20 bucks(just need to pick up some chevy or jeep flat tops). So it will be an 8-lug, chevy disc'd, 4.88 or 5.13 gears and I haven't decided on the locker. The 60 is gonna get 3/4 ton chevy disc brakes, the same gears as the 44, and also have not decided on the locker. It's definantly a slow process. But I am not doing to bad on prices right now.
Here is what I have spent:
Complete Hub to Hub HP44 - $175
Chevy 3/4 Ton Conversion Pieces - About $ 150
Complete Drum to Drum FF D60 - $150
Things Still to Buy:
HP44 Gears
HP44 Locker
D60 Gears
D60 Locker
2 Sets of Chevy 3/4 Ton Rotors, one Complete with Hubs
2 Sets of Chevy 3/4 Ton Calipers and Pads
Chevy Flat Top Knuckles
Reverse High Steer Arms
New Ball Joints
New 760 U-Joints
I am sure there is more assorted crap that isn't coming to mind, but it is definantly gonna take a while to get these things in............ :helpme:
