[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 793121, member: 16101"] You've got a couple of options. One is to narrow the existing housing, reusing the currrent FF spindles. The get shortened axles and stay 30 splines. Since Dana 44 have 30 spline axles, and don't normally snap R&P, it's not a very good upgrade to do this to your 60. One is to narrow the existing housing, welding on FF spindles from a GM14 bolt. Dean at BMC does this often. The 14 bolt spindle is a larger spindle and can be hogged out to fit a 35 spline shaft (unlike the 60s spindles). Then you reuse the 14 bolts FF hub assembly, and just buy your 14 bolt FF shafts to length, and install them in the 60s locker One is to narrow the existing housing, welding on new Semi-float bearing cups. Then buy semi-float axles of your choice (Moser's, etc). This is the option Dean did for me, it's more expensive, but I've got 40 splined Mosers, Detroit, and it wasn't too much $$.. (Now the front was a hole diff. story) [/QUOTE]
