They are a little weak on the breaks and I just wish that the components would be stronger yet another reason to upgrade. I am in the military so my truck is at home so bare with me if I ask questions that can easily be answered by walking outside and looking at my truck. I think that I might just go with the 60's due to the amount of upgrades available for them but I still have to research the other axles. I'll keep you updated on what I come up with
i know making a CAD 60 stronger takes some money!! like a free spin kit with 35 spline shafts is gonna run 2K$, theres a cheaper way u can get hubs and spindles outta early 90s fords D60s, im sure any balljoint 60 hubs and spindles will work though

Make sure you do the research, IIRC only a couple/few years will work.
