Default dana 60

is a dana 60 worth $50? will they hold any kind of power?

how about a 12 bolt with 3:73s for $75?
or a 12 bolt with 3:73s for $300
found another 12 bolt with 4:10s for $250

are these good prices on these rearends? why do i see 10 bolts going for just as much?

I'd carefully check to make sure they actually fit a fourth gen f-body. What are they coming out of?

Too much work involved to get those to work in a F-Body.


The Dana 60 could be worth some money " if " it has the 5 lug axles....You could sell it to Mopar fans or people building a old drag car.

The Dana 44 is use by some of the 4x4 guys.

Not worth it for an F-body at all. Best of luck.
