axle id
« on: July 19, 2009, 09:43:46 AM »
what i was told was that this was that this axle was a dana 60rear out of a dodge w200 from the late 70's and i do not think that it is

and here is what i got on the ring gear are these numbers

4 20 79 dana d 32503a a3d20 46 13

i figured out the 4 20 79 was a date code
the 46 13 was ring and pinion count which means i have 3.53 gears

the wms to wms measurement is 65"

and the only casting numbers i can find are 88-19 on the pinion side of the axle and a c-30255 on the cover side

there is an 8 lug pattern and the drums are about 12" in diameter

the axle shafts are 1.25" in diameter

here are the pics






one more thing it is fing heavy
i am picking up the front that goe with this later today
thanks in advanced
sorry for the bad pics that is how they uploaded from my phone

You should check out       http://www.pirate4x4.com/welcome1.php

They are a lot more into hardcore fab then anyone that is part of JT4x4 that I know of.  You are looking at a TON of work.  I did the easy swap of the 8.8 and even with all the research and stuff, it still took a while.  Is the front axle drivers or passenger side drop?  I am guessing passenger side drop since you are going to a D300.

If those axles don't work out, check these out.  Well worth the $$$$ and they bolt right in.  I wish I had the $$$ for the front one.

Thats a pretty good way to upgrade the brakes.  You definitly need to upgrade the master cyclinder/ proportioning valve and probabaly the booster.  I know there are some conversions using Ford Van parts, but I don't remeber the specifics.  If you search around on www.jeepforum.com I'm sure you could find it.
