So i went to the local junk yard today just to get some bolts for my t-case and on the way out i decided to look through their axles already pulled otu and found to d-60's the one is out of an 89 f-350 with 3.55 gears and SRW the other is a dually axle with 4.10 gears.
They said $500-$550 bucks per axle sounds like a good deal to me what do you guys think?
If i were to buy one i would probably get the SRW axle as it looks in much better condidion is there any good/bad things about this year axle? or is it the same as the rest off the HP KP 60's ?
Thanks

 

the drivers side tube is shorter.

But i have one from an 89 f350, got it for $80. other than that dont think too much is different..

Check out the dana 60 bible o pirate.

 

Im pretty sur that the only diferences is the tube is shorter like you said but thats not a big deal really.
Ya thats a frickin steal on your 60 ill give ya a hundred for it

 

well you would have a heck of a time mounting a radius arm to that drivers side but other than that its a good axle.

 

I will 3 link it if/when i get the axle but that wont be for a while though.

 

What does SRW stand for.

 

Single Rear Wheel.

Get the SRW, not the DRW. You have to convert the DRM hub to the SRW unless you want your wheels to stick out. My D60 came from the same setup you are looking at, it had dualies but the front had the SRW hub....weird, so it may not even be an issue in your case.

 

Ya if i get it i will get the srw for sure. now i gotta get the cash together.
