I just found those on Craigslist. Does that sound like a good deal? He says it will bolt under any chevy? but says they are dodge axles Would they would with my truck? 92 w150

Also mentions he has a locker in the rear. Im kinda nervous about getting a lcoker in the rear. I dont want it engaging and disengaging all the time or locked all the time. I hear that bad for driving on ice and making turns on pavement

Also found this,

been doing some searching around it seems like a great deal for both assuming they are in decent shape.

Problem would be getting them home

 

from the looks of the first add they may be for a chevy and the front pumpkin may be on the wrong side.

as far as lockers go they can be good and bad. if you do lots of in city driving you will notice the wheel hop as you go around corners which can cause a bit more wear on tires. as far as lockers on ice i have been told they are better than having an open dif since you have both wheels spinning at the same speed all the time so that the wheel that is not on ice will keep you moving safely. with an open dif that wheel that is on ice could start spinning faster than the wheel that is on the other side and cause some unwanted things to happen.

 

The first set of axles are what your looking for...dodges (and chevy's) up to 1993 had the passenger side drop (pumpkin).
Edit: many folks have used chevy D60's under their dodge trucks in the front since they are easier to find and normally cheaper. The only real difference is the springs have to be "pulled-out" a bit to fit into the spring pads.

The second add seems to be for a dually rear which you don't want unless your going to convert to dual rear wheels.

Contact him to ask what is in the rear axle a limited slip or at least what kind of locker. In the rear you are better off with one than without in most cases.

 

A rear locker is a good thing if you need the traction. An air locker that you can control is the best of both worlds. With the flip of a switch you go from an open differential with its advantages to a fully locked diff with its obvious advantages. If you ever need the added traction from the front an air locker is the only way to lock the diff as far as I am concerned.

 

Ill give the guy a call then to find out. But hopefully he doesnt sell them anytime soon if it really is a good deal.

Differential is on the right side according to the pics but Ill try and found out what he got them off of and anything else.

What do you mean remove the springs?

EDIT
Called the guy. Said he wasnt sure what dodge they came off of but was confident they go on any dodge from late 60s and up to until coil springs. Said nothing was wrong with them. They have chevy hubs in them right now. Forgot to ask about the locker.

Only thing now is, 1. The bolt pattern he said was 6 on 8 or something like that so I would need new wheels sooner rather later like i planned and shipping them from VA to AL is no telling how much. There isnt any way i bring them back with me

 

The bolt pattern is 8 x 6.5 which is standard for Dodge's and Chevy's and many years of Fords as well.

The chevy hubs are interchangeable with the dodge ones and were actually a little better since the brake rotors were thicker and might also have the internal style lock-outs instead of the external selectro hubs which dodge only had for the last couple years on the 1st gens.

 

Well Ive pretty much decided against this. If I had my truck I probably would get them but its gonna be too much trouble as it is

 

If you do go look at them, verify that it is for sure a 60 front end. Looking at the ad it looks like a 44 to me. If it really is a 60 front end though, they are a good buy.

 

Im guessing it says on the axle? D60 or something
