I'm thinking of building another rear axle. I have access to FF D60 for a sweet price. Needs to be shortened, converted to Semi-Float 6 lug, and it needs to be Cheap!
What are my options? I can cut down the housing myself. I'll probably end up ordering SF Moser shafts. Now what I really need to know is:
1- What bearing retainers? Big Ford 9" bearings?
2- What brake system? Drums are definite right now (cheap), but what backing plates and drums for a 6-lug setup? Redrilled Ford 9" Drums?
It is either that, or find a J-20 with the SF rear 60.
