replacement spring perch for dana 60
I bought a Chevy front dana 60 for my Blazer. The driver side spring perch is twisted and the holes blown out. I need to replace it. Anybody know of a replacement? The height of it is crucial as it needs to match the passenger side that is cast in the center section.

I would think you could take a weld on perch, do some measuring, get the height as close to what you need, tack it, check it again if you really want to, and weld it on.

Re: replacement spring perch for dana 60
The problem is that your average weld on perch is not tall enough

Re: replacement spring perch for dana 60
Make one out of square tube. Make it as high as you want, up to the thickness of the tube. I think front springs are 3"? Mines not here to measure, but 3" tube also? Get a 3" hole saw and 3" square tube with 1/4" wall. Clamp a board to it for the pilot to drill into and make as high as you would like.

Re: replacement spring perch for dana 60
To me it seems perches are essentially square tubing... although i could be wrong but here's an idea buy a piece of square tubing that is however wide you want the perch to be lets say 3in wide also you would have to get it at 1/4in thick. Now you have basically a full perch that hasn't been cut out so if the square tube was bought at 5in tall, 3in wide and 1/4in thick you could just make your own however tall then just notch it out for the axle tube. If all that makes any sense

Re: replacement spring perch for dana 60
Hmm. That sounds kind of familiar.

Re: replacement spring perch for dana 60
