It came installed on a Scrambler project I'm working on. At first glance it looks pretty cool, because it's full floating, narrowed to CJ width, 5 lugs, with disc brakes! It's got 4.10 gears, and some type of LSD (supposedly), but I haven't pulled the cover to look inside, yet.
Since I'm sticking with a 258 for this project, my plan was to sell off this D60 for some build money, and put the original AMC 20 (which I also have) back in.
Well, it was pointed out to me recently that the hubs don't look like D60 hubs (of course), and someone might have spliced on some D44 27 spline outers. So, I popped a drive flange off to take a look... and I found 19 spline outers.... 🤨
Shoot! Doesn't that pretty much defeat the purpose of installing a heavy duty axle like the Dana 60?
Now I might as well just leave it in there. It'll hold up fine with a 258 and 32" tires, but it's sure not the brute axle I was hoping it would be.
Oh well, I guess that's part of the thrill of buying other people's projects.
