Re: Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15

There's a '68-72 3/4ton 2wd here being parted that has a Dana 60 rear... I've already got a full set of 6-bolt wheels, and an original GMC Dana44 rear with 3.55 and rebuildable posi... I'm reallllllly trying to ignore it... I'd be into the Dana for whatever the purchase price is, plus the rebuild kit, plus 3.55 gears (probably) and a new posi unit, AND a full set of 6-lug wheels.
I could get a Dana 60 for free, and it'd still cost me a grand.
I'm figuring that for the light wheeling I'll be doing (easy trail rides, hunting and driving through fields, etc., no rock-crawling), with original pizza-cutter wheels and tires, the 44s will be up to it.
