Since the prices of bone stock fron d60 are expensive for what they are. I am thinking of building a front 60 using a rear 60 center section. Anyone have some links of who has done this? I will be using either crane or dendenbaer knuckels and inner c's.

One of the 4WD rags did a 2 or 3 part article on this a few months back. Either Petersen's or JP, I think.

"Hazel 60" started in the Jan 05 JP magazine.

so youre just using the center section? you can get currie to make you the tubes and press them in for around $200.

From what I recall of the "Hazel" 60, the biggest thing was the axle seals. Rear 60's obviously don't have them in the pumpkin and aren't machined for them. They did figure out a source for some though, but I don't remember from who.
