Dana 60 an caltracs

Hello, so have been enjoying the 544 stroked 6 pak road runner backed by john cope built(rmvb) trans, my week link remains I believe my 8 3/4 rear(3;55), I want to install frame connectors and a Dana 60 also use a set of caltracs, best place to purchase
dana 60=strange?
caltracs=mancini?
frame connectors=?
any input would be much appreciated, the car runs great and I have kept street tires on it to make sure I didn't twist or break something. now I'm ready to put the power down and get this to the track for next season.

Call Dr. Diff for the Dana. He deals w/ Strange.
Cal-Tracs you can get directly from Calvert I believe.
We put a set of US Car Tool frame connectors on my dad's '69 road runner that worked out nice. Or the cheaper MP connectors will work too...planning on putting a set of them on my other '69 road runner.

I dealt directly with Strange for my S-60.

Dr Diff for the diff. You can get the cal track from jegs or summit IIRC.

The CalTracs can be bought directly, or from Mancini Racing, but not thru Summit or Jegs.

Unless there is a significant cost savings I would buy the Cal-Tracs directly from Calvert. I would seriously consider getting springs and perhaps shocks from them as well.

Good Luck,
Bill

Excellent guys thank you, I will reach out to dr diff, and hit up Mancini for the rest, springs and shock?? Can you be more descriptive of what you think for shocks? Stock rear shocks now , I think Mancini has a Christmas sale iirc

Calvert shipping $$ is the big deal. Maybe find someone who has free shipping



Get a good double adjustable shock, dont mess with the junk calvert shocks, or rancho. A good, cheap alternative is viking. Call them directly, the customer service they offer is awesome.

This^^^^^^ A shock that is only one way adjustable is like a carb you can only jet richer.


The Vikings are a good shock for the money.

If you google cal tracs you may find some like classic industries that will eat the freight.

Thank you guys I appreciate you all giving me help/guidence😀

Adam Sailor, aka "demongup", in PA is a Moparts member and CalTrac dealer where I got my last parts.

I bought my Strange S-60 from Doctor Diff.

Good service from both, BTW.

I bought a truck Dana 60 cut the ends off and had the local Race Shop weld on the 8 and 3/4 ends. It was a lot cheaper in the end. As for the caltracs, make sure you get mono leaves or split monos with them. I did the very thing like this Summer that you're planning on doing. I'm going to go ahead and spring for the Viking double adjustable shocks too. I did buy a spool and axles from dr. Diff.

Thank you all, will look into the springs you mentioned as well😀
