Yeah, which the real benefit I see for that is carrying capacity.

what more is there to ask for.

for wheeling you can also pull the axle shaft if you break it and still limp home becasue the wheel is attached to the hub. or some such nonsense as that

Hmmmm, never thought about being able to remove the axle shaft. That's definitely a plus.

Yep they are, the bonus from using a 60 comes in the size of the brakes, it's a FF, more opts for new gear carriers, no c clips for the axle shaft. Other than that the 9.25 is a very stout diff.

Basically, if you're a broke *** like me, you can run a D60 in the front and 9.25 in the rear for a while. lol

I'd run a D60 if I could, but then I'd lose my spiffy wheels.

Wheel adapters 8 to 5 if they make them. Your wheels are outdated anyway lol, some black wheels on that pig

Psh! Please! My wheels are unique! I've seen all of 3 trucks with them on. And only one of them was even in my area.

They're vintage 99-2000.

I wasn't fond of them when I first looked at the truck, then they grew on me. I love 'em. Don't see them around anywhere. I need to polish them, never have.
