The reply from ORD wasn't what I had hoped. They said their brackets wont work with the dodge D60 because the offset of the diff to the passenger side is too far. The dodge axle is 2" narrower and the spring perches are 1/2" further apart. Meaning the diff is about 1/4"-1/2" (the pads are also only 2.5" compared to chevy 3") further over and the knuckle is about 1" closer inboard. Looking at mine compared to the pics they post online I can see how it fits and I see what they mean, but I also think its something that can be overcome.
If I were to trim the outboard edge to move it a bit closer in to the knuckle, and then trim where it goes over the spring perch, it seems possible, but thats hard to really judge based on a single picture.
I had been looking at my options for this conversion off and on over the past few years. There are some custom jobs where a home builder like myself has done it. Many of those went with a 3 link or radius arm set up because of clearance issues and simplicity. And thats the option I figured at the time I would go with, but when I saw how the ORD set up was I figured that would be great. I wouldn't have to engineer it myself. Save lots of time and headaches.
So I'm still pondering it. Not an issue yet because I don't have the cash to buy stuff right now anyways. I'm not afraid to fab up my own design or copy what others have done. Don't be afraid to chime in and share your thoughts.
Some other builds that I've looked at for ideas. If you know of others, share a link..
