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

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.

well i got one brake drum off finaly umm yeah they are toast and the backing plate is rusted to hell looks like i can do this

should not be that hard as soon as i get more PB and a bigger hammer and find some good steel to start making componets and brakets

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.
