Found a jeep j-10? With Dana 60s on it for $700 DNT know gear sizes yet but 1 is that a good price and 2 how hard is the swap?

 

Well it requires you to make all new suspension mounts or buy a kit and weld them in. Or swap to front leaf springs which still requires alot of welding. If the j10 is in good shape then you could build that, i would. They are all rust buckests around me.

Quick search, found j10 60's are kinda rare and might be worth something to those who have fullsized jeeps from late 60's-80's. More research is needed tho

 

The j-10 itself is nothing but the cab lol that's why I was thinking swap

 

700 for cab and axles? or is it just missing the bed?

 

60's ? let's see pics.

 

$700 for a running truck 258ci I think with 37s and a cab is all that's left on the frame

 

As soon as he emails them to me I will post them I DNT know if they are original to the truck just what he says he has on there

 

I am in the middle of a 60 swap my self. You need to plate the "frame" with 1/8th to 1/16th steel rough stuff sells a kit that dose most of it for under $200. It goes 9" into each wheel arch of the frame. So you just have to plate the rest. I like to use a plasma cutter but what ever works works.
Then the ? do you want to keep the suspension you have? After all that work I sure wouldn't. Some people build a 3 link front and keep the rear leafs. Wast of time if you ask me. I just went right for 3 link front and 4 link rear. You can buy kits from balistic fab, R S, Barns, blue torch fab. The list goes on.
You must build you own cross members and links. If you get it yet it is a big job. There is not any bolt on kits. This is a real hard core mod.
So go back on pirate and don't ask this dumb question. In stead look at what people are doing to put 60's in. Read there post. And first and foremost use the search icon. I studied that form for 2 weeks before I decided I could do it.
Your first step is welding. If you don't know how take a class at a tech school $200 well spent. Then you need a welder and at least a torch. If you don't have a place to work inside you better get one. This project will not be over quickly and you will not enjoy it!
Everyone wants 60's but not everyone can pull it off. Most who can give up half way. You might want to think of just buying a rig already set up. Just bring someone along who has a clue of what they are doing.

 

Should be a 44 front and rear and depending on year could be passenger side drop in a J10. J20 would have a 44 front and 60 rear.

 

i thought j-10 came with 44s?

 

damn, xjmarc beat me to it

 

I'm sneaky like that.

 

lol ur a

 

This is to brutal
First let's get this straight are you saying I asked a stupid question and should go to another forum?

 

He's saying go read on pirate because they do hardcore **** like that over there. But don't ask how to over there just read because they will flame you
