Which Dana 60 rear
I bought a 1992 w250 truck, magnum 360, 5-speed with 4.10 gears to use for my 1965 D200 4wd conversion. I got the front axle installed using the d200 front springs. Still need to figure out the drag link.
My question, is there any benicit to going to the 92 rear axle? Or should I just stick with the 65 axle? Both have 4.10 gears, the 65 axle has less miles and crusty rust on it. Which should I use?
Thanks

Re: Which Dana 60 rear
I would use the 92 RA seeing as you have it and it has better brakes and easier to get parts. Also simplifies driveshaft hookup with U jointsRed383 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 10:04 pmI bought a 1992 w250 truck, magnum 360, 5-speed with 4.10 gears to use for my 1965 D200 4wd conversion.

Re: Which Dana 60 rear
That is kind of what I was thinking also. Plus the left side lug nuts are not backwards.

Re: Which Dana 60 rear
Is the 92 axle a Dana 60 or a 9.25 Chrysler?

Not true. There was an 8 lug semi floating 9.25 axle used in some 3/4 ton trucks and vans.dodgeboykim wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 2:29 pm

True. But donor truck in question is a Gas job. Not a Cummins truck.

Re: Which Dana 60 rear
Sorry for the slow response. I used the Dana 44 CAD axle out of the 92 W250 360 magnum donor truck. I'm not a heavy four wheeler, so it should work fine for me. I may put on manual locking hubs and lock the CAD system.
The rear is a Dana 60 also from the same donor. I have both axles installed now, and I'm plumbing in brake lines.
Just a word of advice, I ordered the brake line kit for a 1992 W250 from Inline Tube, they sent me stainless instead of OEM. I didn't want stainless, in case I had to modify the lines or re-flare something. I figured it would make it easier to swap out all the lines, but their kit does not match the lines on the 92. I had to re-bend all the axle lines to make them fit. The master cylinder lines are not even close to matching what was on the 92 Donor truck. When I called them about it I was basically told "it is what it is". I don't know that I'd use them again.
