I too used a Dana 60 rear axle for my Astro. It came from a 1990 - 1991.5 Ford E-250 van. It also is full floater and 8 lug. It was the correct length and offset for an Astro or Safari. The wms-wms width is about 67". How wide is the Jeep J20 axle? It should be the right width as it is a full-width axle too. The stock Astro/Safari rear axle is about 67" wide.zook94 wrote:The rear axle I am going to run is a Dana 60 out of a 1967-1979 J-20 or J-30 Jeep pickup with a Quadratrac transmission. The front and rear outputs are both located on the right side of the truck, offset just like the Astro. Some work needs done, as the axle is too wide, but by cutting the long side down, and sleeving it with 1/2" schedule 80 pipe, and grinding a chamfer on the weld surface, you will end up with basically indestructible parts. The rear axle is 1-1/2" 31 spline, comes with tons of aftermarket support from full spools to air activated locking mechanisms, and the axle is full floating design, so breakage won't leave you stranded, depending on your choice of traction control.
Sorry to disappoint,but my 472 is a BB Chevy based off of a 79 454.Mr_Roboto wrote:472 you say? Any pics? We wanna see Caddi action!!!!
