[QUOTE="Ditchplains1, post: 1235305, member: 12347"] [b]Dana 60 conversion[/b] Squatting Dog, I would thing that it should be easier to adapt some Dana 60 outer spindles to the Ford knuckles. I've installed both the Dynatrac kit in my 1998.5 Cummins, and the Spyntech kit in my 2004.5 Cummins. (The difference? The Spyntech kit has the bearing races already pressed in). Instead of the stub axle you could run the CV axles with adapters for the manual hub pucks. Not rocket science; not reinventing the wheel; using tried and true Dana 60 outer spindle design with minimal modification... Benefit is that you could run the hubs unlocked on road for better mileage; repack-able Timken bearings; can lock the hubs off-road and engage 4 wheel drive as needed. The hubs could be drilled for 6 x 135; (pictured is the Ford Bronco 5 x 5.5 spindle). I believe the Spyntech has the short Dana spindle. Warn/MileMarker/Dynatrac should be able to cast pucks for the manual outer locking hubs that would mesh with the CV axle.... Eddie ps You will REALLY have to try hard to break one of these heat treated spindles! [/QUOTE]
