You gotta love Facebook... Ford Dana 60 1 ton rear axle. 4.10 gears and a HD posi carrier, 35 spline rear for $150... lol. Score! I’ll just narrow it and buy SFI axles and done!
That’s my plan. I already have the spool.Mine was $65.
Cut full floating ends off, installed Dr. Diff spool and axles. DONE!
---I saw that car in the other thread. Way better 68 than my 69 but we’re going to do really mean things to this car on a totally cheap budget! Lol. The car’s name is Tetanus. I’m narrowing the dana and won’t even paint the welds so that they rust to match!
Sounds like twins lol. I have 90% of the parts going into this build.---
This 68 is also going to be a budget build. That is the plan, using up what's around. Funny thing, I was just lining up the dana for it this morning.

It’ll be street legal since we do lots of street car races. It’ll get a 535 cube RB with a trick flow top end and the Nitrous system from my roadrunner.---
I'm needing a fair bit more than that for parts. What is your frugal dart going to have it in, is it going to be street legal?

I definitely will. You should as well. They should be similar builds although I have no plans to improve the appearance. I’m not even adding a hood... gotta keep to my budget theme!—-
Fast! Hoping you give the odd update on it as you go along.
This one will be a street car with a bar. With the 526RB, 727, narrowed Dana, retro stuff, a good chance it will get the Hemi dart clone look with lots of tire under it.
Oh man....please please PLEASE get rid of that style of jack stand! I used them too in the 70's for several years and found out why others were telling me to get away from them. Luckily, I wasn't under the car but in it when things decided to go wrong. The results were 2 crushed stands and a busted windshield from the impact with the concrete not to mention the rough ride I got!
Yeah I’m not a fan. They belong to a friend and are under there only until I can move the car inside to work on it. I’ve got a dozen HD stands inside but there all in use.Oh man....please please PLEASE get rid of that style of jack stand!
