Dana 60 Total Re-build

[LongHorn]

Just finished a lock-out to Lock-out re-build of a Ford ball joint high-pinion Dana 60. New tierods too.
Boy what a bich of a job & after only a half a million miles!
They just don't build'em like they used to.:laugh:
Hell, I had to put in a re-built tranny after only 420,000.:dunno:
Now the Big F-350 is almost ready for my boy's big 16th B-Day.
Got some new 38.5"X15.50" Stupid Swampers on the way.
Now I have to take him down to Wally World to practice parking the truck before he gets to to school parking lot.

What year is your rig?
This 97' Ford had regular inner & outer wheel bearings & races.
I don't remember what year that changed.
The ball joints are what was tough.

Mines a 95 dodge, I'm not sure when dodge went with the unit bearings, but I wish they never did.
I did my Ball joints while it was apart but they were a piece of cake after the rusted in bearings.
