dana 60 swap in 97 1500
just got my tranny rebuilt and the shop said 4.10 gears or no warranty so no I'm here. I bought a 96 2500 dana 60 front and rear(limited slip too!) with 4.10s, i got a 360 gasser so I would have the 2.5in rear leafs. Only problems I have ran into so far are the leaf spring shackle bolts were completely seized and required torching, also the gas tank is in the way of the front left leaf spring bolt.
I have my parts truck all tore apart and my truck in the shop with the rear axle out getting ready to put in the d60, I hope to have it all done next week. Ill snap some pics soon! I got lots of parts left over too, rust free red long box!!

Yes they were 2.5 in. It was a 96 model 2500, manufactured in 95 though. Ill try to look for some numbers its kinda rusty.
