New front end

[GaryTJ]

Starting a new project. Going to replace the ft axle and trying to do a step by step how I did it for those with an interest.

86 Ford hp dana 60 axle, shorten it to 62" WMS, new ARB, Gears, Axles(Bobby Long CV's), 1/2 ton ford rotors with chev 3/4 brakes, chev 1 ton TRE's, and mount to my existing 3 link front suspension and reinstall the ram assist.

Just starting out, but what I have done so far...

old axle.

stripped down.

Ford rotors. I have to machine out the center hole to fit the 60 hubs.

The only machined inner surface is the one I need to machine, so I have to make another to be able to chuck them true.

Then I can machine the center out.

Next machine the hubs down to 4.5" backside diameter and 4.25 outside diameter to fit into 15" wheels and run the ford rotors.

Why can't I see the pictures?
This project sounds really cool,
but this thread makes little sense without visuals.

Sorry about that. Try hitting F5 or shift + refresh on your broser. :kiss:

Probably, but the emery cloth will give the swirl effect that most definitely "get's the bitches"

I actually was trying to devise a way to use a brake lathe at work to machine out the centers of some Chevy rotors for my rear disc swap when I was working at a repair shop. I never did though. Got the brakes working pretty damn good after I swapped the front end around and used the bigger calipers and stuck a proportioning valve in there.

One of these days Ill get the rear disc done after I get tired of cleaning the mud out. But, then again, you have to actually WHEEL to get them dirty in the first place, haha.

Nice work man, looks like a ton of fun. Im always excited when I get some new parts, a pile like that would probably keep me in a good mood for a long time, haha.

Nothing wrong with back yard machine work. Shiiiiiiit I would have mounted it on a front axle then put the rig in gear.............Go to town with a die grinder.:redneck:
