Keep the D60 rear or not...

Depending on what you want for them, but yes, I'd be interested in them for the right price. I have no use for them right now, but maybe down the road I could use them somewhere and that's what I would want them for.

I'll trade you for some brand new in the box Ford 9" Big Bearing housing ends... Then you'd just need to weld 'em on and get some custom axles made and you're ready to go!

...Just make sure when you cut the spindles off, you don't hit the spindles!

Wayne,

Sounds like a deal to me. How far into the axel tubes do the spindles go so that i don't cut them? How long are the bearing housing ends? I'll just cut the tubes to the right length to give me the desired overall width after I put the bearing ends on. What axel diameter will I be able to use those bearing ends (what size bearings go in them?)?

Thanks.

Not sure how far the spindles go in...

These 9" housing ends fit into a 2.625 ID tube. Which would be a 3.125" OD tube, .25" wall. They take the 9" big bearings (SET20 - that's what they are called).

You will most likely need to get new axles made. Call Dutchman and tell them what you are doing. They will tell you where to make your cuts to achieve your goal. Then depending on what they tell you, you can make your cuts clean or be careful where you cut/remove the weld for the spindles.
