The Dana 60 out of the 84 K/30 will bolt right in with no modifications and the front spring hanger are pretty much a direct bolt in & the rear spring shackle requires a little modification but it's pretty easy I'll post some pics tomorrow

I have the front done with the Dana 60 in place putting trans and transfer in hopefully Tomorrow

You've done more to yours in a week than I have to mine in almost 6 months! Can't wait to see it back together!

Nice progress, what did you use to mount the rear axle, stock perches?

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 05-13-2016, 11:17 PM

Stock perches they are the same width on the 72 as the 84 K/30

projectking · 05-13-2016, 11:42 PM
