Picked this up today, can't decide if I should plan on putting it in my stupid jeep or sell it.

Dana 60-1SU rear axle from a 2000 E350. Comes stock with disc brakes. In fact the disc brakes are on it, complete, and aside from replacing some hoses and hard lines, should be serviceable, I'll check pad condition tomorrow. Smooth bottom heavy duty center housing, everything except for the casting and gears/carrier is essentially dana 70 parts. 3.5" axle tubes, 8x6.5 lug pattern, dana 70 wheel bearings, spindles are large enough ID to fit a 35 spline axleshaft without any machine work (stock shafts are 32 spline), has a companion flange style pinion rather than a ujoint yoke. I prefer that anyways as it means you can change out a mangled flange and blown ujoint with hand tools on the trail instead of needing a hell of a lot of torque for the pinion nut and possibly compromising your gear setup. You can swap on a ujoint yoke of your choice easily enough though.

Almost no rust on the axle, I've never seen one this clean. Stock diff cover does have some dings and dents in it from a forklift, but everything turns smoothly as it should and it doesn't leak fluid. I spoke with the last person to drive it - it was driven from auction to the junkyard. Only negative is 3.55 gears, but you were probably going to regear to something in the high 4.xx or 5.xx range anyways...

Dana/Spicer BOM number in case you want to look up specs yourself: 606522-1 (the entire tag is still perfectly legible after scraping off some paint. That's how low-rust this axle is.)

This plus a Jana 76 kit, 35 spline shafts, D70 gears, and a D70 locker... you know you want to!

Complete lugnut to lugnut, $400 obo, reasonable offers will include free delivery within ~50mi of Southbridge. Full price and I'll weld your leaf perches on for you after you get pinion angle dialed in.
 
That makes no sense...????
he's just giving me crap :wow::smootch:

I have done a handful of axle swaps (on my jeeps and some friends) including perch welding and am getting quite good at it... and even have a bigger welder now than when I did the last one. Welds on the last one came out prettier and stronger than the factory ones.

Not coming off anytime soon:

if i could get the brakes fixed on the comanche i would be interested....been a while since i parked a jeep in your yard
 
way to help him sell this. lol
lol it's fine, same axle Colin got is what he's saying, apparently it doesn't even need the bling upgrades I was suggesting and survives just fine on its own with locker+upgraded axleshafts.

Chris - I zapped a few PMs, hit me up again, or it's on the fb trading post too.
 
definetly a badass axle, mine has survived a year of alot of rev limiter abuse on 38's
 
Someone buy this stupid thing so I can stop looking at bling shafts and parts for it and dreaming about putting it in my jeep. My wallet is screaming.
 
damn it.

And I just sold my D60-1SU/sterling 10.25 leaf spring swap kit to nhrocker, too :roflmao:
 
That's great, but first to show up with a suitable amount of cash and/or things I listed that I'm willing to trade for gets it. I'm not holding it for anyone, cash talks, BS walks.

I should probably just get my 8 lug rims out of storage and friggin weld it in. Picked up a 1330 (or 1350, I didn't bother to measure) to Ford 3x3 flange adapter for it Saturday at the junkyard.
 
This is no longer for sale, I'll either light it on fire in my yard or use it in my build long before I sell it for half my asking price. Kick someone else's tires.

It's hard to sell stuff these days, people either want it for free or want to waist your time till you give it to them, If I had a dollar fir everytime someone said they wanted something.. I'd be rich!
