Hey Tx,

Glad you’re still working on yours. I’m slowly getting pieces here and there.

I’m still thinking the Chevy Dana 60 should work. I could have sworn if you look up the Duke build on here the guy said he used 1 ton single axles. I only know of a few passenger side drop 1 ton axles, Chevy/dodge Dana 60 and the Dana 61, which I highly doubt he used the latter. Also, I can see it’s passenger side drop in the pics too, so that’s why I narrowed it down. I believe I recall he used a cummins, Nv4500, np205 set up, which would be set up for passenger drop as well.

There’s also a YouTube video that shows more detail and he definitely didn’t change the front leaf spring set up. That’s what got me more excited because I can move the perches on the 14 bolt, not so much on the Dana 60. ��

Have you thought about changing the transfer case to a passenger side drop behind the ally?
