That is not bad Mr P. I have had about the same or a little less into the Dana 60's we have built from truck housings depending on the axles, cover, etc. I love the look of a Dana 60 under a vintage Mopar but just had to ask afters searching and reading some of the old threads on 9" vs 8.75. Did you use a CM housing and back brace?



No its just the stock mild steel.. if I ever needed
a CM housing I would buy one... but I dont need it..
I never cared for the dana 60 due to not being able
to back brace it... yeah you can get the thick truck
housings with the 3/8" thick tubes but they are heavy...
even with that and enough torque and a heavy car it
can bend those tubes(mild steel)... I've seen a couple
of danas that had a back brace with a bolt on section
over the cover area.. but that HAD to have a fuel
cell(no way would it fit in with a stock tank)....
this is JMO on the dana
