dana 60 duelly to single?
« on: May 13, 2010, 10:01:37 pm »
my bro is looking for a dana 60 front for his 3+3, actually a whole donor K-30, but the duallys are more available than srw trucks...  Whats involved in changing the dually dana 60 over to single? just Hubs?  and am I right to assume that they are just as hard to come across as the axels themselves?

thanks guys

Yep, the only difference is the hubs.  Everything else is identical.

someone on here was talking about it before but you can get the hubs milled down to fit a srw
