HP 60 Question

[Coreshot]

Does anybody know how far back (in years) they used HP 60 front axles in F350s?

Thanks.

'78 - '79

'78 - '79

And were they used until current? Or was there a period when they weren't used?

actually they were used farther back than that BUT they were closed knuckle so not desireable...I think they have pretty much been used since but after 86 I believe they go to ball joints so they are a little harder to work with (high steer) and aren;t as strong as a king pin...

I was jsut thinking about it and I think I am wrong...pre 78 I think they were low pinion...

Not sure of the exact year but my 60 im building now is pre or early 70 f350.... Its low pinion, has king pins, but knecked down to a 44 shaft and 44 outers..... Its Pritty much worthless in stock form but itleast its a place to start building.

my search for the front hp 60 led my to a 90's f450 good luck in a month of looking turn up 2 poss canidates one was stripped to basicaly housing the guy wanted way to much the 2nd was complete the guy wanted $1600 and i would have had to still cut retube regear locker hubs and brakes so thats why I end up with what I got.

Why? what are you up to ???????

 

[mbryson]

Call Eric at the SLC Six States. He or Andy may know of some. They are usually a little more reasonable than $1600

Nuthin', why????

Actually, I have an offer for my 44 that is more than I'm into it. So, I was thinking about finding a 60 and going that route, but with a 60, I'm thinkin' bigger tires. That means moving the axle even farther forward than it already is, which means coilovers. $$$$$$$$$ Ah hell, Maybe I'll just do the hardened shafts and CTMs and call it good until I actually start breaking stuff.

Oh just wondering. the expense of a front 60 is what kept me away. the junkyard just wouldn't work for my project. coils? hum

Core,
I know a shop that has been putting HP rear 60s together for reasonable, but I don't know if they build fronts. Are you still looking? ... Ms. Conception Motorsports... contact JR, good guy. I can talk to him if you want...

I think I'm gonna stick with what I have for now. I had a couple fronts lined up, just to build myself, but until I get alot of other stuff done, I'm not going to mess with it. I haven't broken anything on the 44 yet, and that's with stock shafts. Thanks anyway, Nic.
