    No Jeep ever came with a 60 front. You'll want a Chevy 60 from a SRW. Typically, they were in K30s from 77-87.

    Some old 3/4 and 1 ton fords had the HP 60 front. (70's) I've been looking for one for years, and have yet to find one that someone will part with.

    I'm a grove hunter myself. That how I came along my parts truck. I do know were 2 or 3 old chevys are, that have divorced NP205's...but I'm not sure what the front ends are. He also has a old Javelin or 2 and a Gremlin. Maybe If I stop I'll snap a pic or 2.
    Have to take a trip next weekend to drop my son off and will look around on the way back. Now that the leaves are coming off the trees you can see way back into the groves.

    That's the 78-79 SnoFighter and Camper special F250 (high GVWR) and the F350. Those are the high pinion, king pin, DS drop.

    Ford = DS drop
    Chevy/Dodge = PS drop

    You can machine down a dually hub or just purchase the SRW hubs.

    I forget the years, but some later model Fords have a KP60 as well.

    You don't have to machine down anything on Ford dually front D60's. The dually hubs unbolt. Its only the Chevy axles that have to be machined off.

    ALL Ford D60's from 1978-up are reverse-cut (what is commonly called high-pinion).


    I don't know if its just the part of the country you guys are living in, but there's no shortage here in Michigan. I've personally had 3 of the 78-79 HPD60's in the past 6 months (and 1 right now) and probably 3 or 4 other ones that have been a mixture of kingpin and balljoint. I'll start keeping an eye out for you guys.

    The trend is going towards ball joint on lighter vehicles since the ball joints on these axles were designed to hold up a lot more weight. A lot of people are also moving towards unit bearing axles. Although the bearing assemblies are much more expensive, they are much more resistant to contamination by mud/water when submerged and some suppliers (like NAPA) are now offering unlimited lifetime warranties. I now have a set of those on my Ram.
