S60 from Strange. Doctor Diff is a good dealer to work with, especially if you want to add disc brakes or stuff like that. If it is a stock width rear end then you can also get the correct brake lines and mating parts. If you are going with a non-stock width then you'll most likely need to build your own lines.

I ordered my complete axles and spool from Dr. Diff for my cut down truck Dana 60.

Excellent service and they installed and worked perfectly for quite a few years now.

So, one more vote for the good Dr.!

I buy junk yard Dana 60s, especially ones with damage axle tube ends, and have them shorten and put in new 35 spline axles and a spool or if I have a good Dana 60 clutch type posi unit I will convert it to 35 splines by replacing all the internal parts needed to do that conversion. If it is going in a drag car I will buy the correct 35 spline spool for that gear set and buy drag race axles instead of street axles work up

A buddy of mine has a Dana 60 that he took to Little Rock and had rebuilt by a proper shop. Might even be a 68. He sold his Road Runner project 2 weeks ago so I know he doesn't need it. You might try him if you want an original. I don't know where you're at, he's in Stuttgart, Arkansas. His name is Bobby Hall. His cell is 870-830-8401. He mows yards for a living so you might have to leave a message.

S60


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I recently ordered an S60.

By the time I bought a yoke, axles, differential, gear and install kit for my original Dana there wasn't much difference in cost. (going from 4.10 to 4.56)

Plus I wasn't really looking to set it up with shims under the bearings again.

Second the Dr. Diff suggestions. I bought my S60 through him earlier this year, and had some special requests that got handled with no issue. I also picked it up from Strange directly and got to see the facility.
