Oh ya baby I got a special delivery today. Been searching for a front D60 for some tim enow and this 1 kinda fell in my lap. There will be some modifications going on cause its not the exact year most people pull from but I couldnt turn down the deal...

I hope you really beef up your unibody. That 60 will tear it apart if you don't.

Nice find though. What'd the axle come out of?

why would a 60 tear it up? its just unsprung weight pulling just as hard as any other axle does. granted the places you can abuse it with a 60 may tear it up but the 60 itself wont. Now the unsprung weight of a rockwell........

btw good lookin find, it looks really clean

I think you just said what I was trying to say better than I did. Search the username "PeterBuilt"; he's got D60s front and rear with no cage and no strengthening of the unibody. His Jeep is really tweaked.

Are you gonna narrow the long side and get some low back spaced wheels (high offset)?

IF you dont do that then a long arm and big tires wont work youd rub your tire on the links.

Ive got the 78-79 f350d60 with the diff more centered and still my tires bairly rub the frame and leafs with centered 8in wide rims.
