Shortening Dana 60

max340 · Jun 1, 2018

Hey guys. Anybody know where there's good explicit instructions how to convert a Ford truck dana into one that fits under a 69 B body? I got the flanges and leaf mounts but before I start cutting I just want to be sure. Maybe a good video or whatever that shows dimensions etc. Thanks!

And don't forget the pinion offset.

If your buying custom axles you might want to make it narrower than standard B-body.

Careful cutting the tubes down. The one side doesn't get much removed when you have the correct pinion offset for a car.

Got a really great response from 5.7 hemi. Zack in central California does this all the time and knew about everything it takes to get it done. Dr. Diff is the go to guy for parts and the calcs. Thanks guys!
