I cant believe how difficult this parts finding event is going, after all your great input i really believe i want to go dana 60's all around now finding them is some what of a nightmare, between find some that looked like they've had better days to really expensive......... Rightn now it would almost be the same price to find an old used beater truck with the axles and buy the whole thing then to just buy the front axle alone.................... i'm thinking of hitting my local pick&pull this weekend but its been raining non stop for the last 3 days so yikes!
(and for the comments about tires and power) i'm looking at slapping a 351 in the raider with a ford auto tran and transfer case up to it. and some big F...ing tires
