axle swap

[Mudstone]

my suggestion is trade your axles for mine... i have a 1009 with 3.08s

Is there any difference between the D60s width on the Dually version other than the reverse wheel adapter?
(remove the adapter and would it be the same axle as the 1008?)


Is there any difference between the 14bolt on the dually width wise? Is it narrower to add duals on each side?

i have a axles out of a bbc crew cab. look for a set of them. they have 3.73 gears. would think that would be a big help if you just want to drive on the road

To answer your first question The difs from the early dodges with the D60 1976 threw 93 are almost the same but will work there are small difs 76 threw 79 are external lockouts after 79 they are internal lockouts like the gm you have. The spring perch on a gm 's are 3'' wide and 32'' apart center pin to center pin, the dodge are 2 1/2'' wide and 32 1/2'' apart but will fit into a chevy with no problem. after 93 dodge went to ball joints on the dana 60 they use. the dodge srw d60 are 67'' wide wms to wms and the chevy srw is 69'' wms to wms ( wheel mount serface). been told some dodges are also 69'' but I have not seen any! chevy rotars are 1.5'' thick as to the dodges its 1.25'' after 90.5 to 93 they are 1.5'' but the calipers are the same even with the 1.25 rotor. and the dodge mounts the tie rod about a 1 '' higher than the chevy but they will swap. hope this helps

Dual Rear Wheel 14 bolt axles have a narrower housing.

Build you a 700R4 or 4L80E in there and leave the gears alone.

The drw and srw d60 front axles are identical except for the hub/rotor assembly.

imbobbbb is correct sorry Drjekl there is no dif in the dana60 srw or drw housings. they are the same the dif comes from the hubs pull the hubs and change to the other! the rear 14 bolt is another story

Ask yourself what you like most about your M1008, then move that over to the dodge. Might be easier.

Sooo true

I was refering to the rear axle. Edited to clarify. You will note he was also asking about 14 bolt axles. A Chevy 60 front is a Chevy 60 front with few exceptions.
