Military axles

You end up getting them?

 

[Stepside Billy]

Not yet. Gotta save up a few bucks. He's asking $1900 for the pair. He has a few sets and they're not selling real fast. I have next week off so I can spend the week working on it. Going through the brakes right now.

I second that, showing up with a fistful of cash in your hand will definitely soften them up

I have a 14bolt dana60 combo with 33in tires and its great, I believe my gears are 3:73s? from the factory?

Oh yeah, I always bring cash. Unfortunately my youngest daughter is going back to school and her van needs tires. She will be living in Syracuse N.Y. and needs decent tires to deal with the weather up there. Always seems to happen, I get a few bucks up and something or someone needs cash!!

yeah I can understand I lived in watertown for a few years and have been through Syracuse many times. If she has a few years left in school you may want to just invest in a set of winter tires so you don't have to worry about new ones every year and take em off come spring. Make sure she is carrying supplies in her car come winter time you can get caught in lake effect snow if not careful and get stuck pretty quick, not to scare you or anything just so she stays aware of the weather

 

[Stepside Billy]

Oh I know how the weather is up there! This is her last year. She has been going to SUNY Oswego but she'll be doing student teaching in a school in Syracuse. She'll be living with my oldest daughter who lives in Syracuse. Fortunately she's a good driver but I am getting her snow tires. That's why I'm putting off getting my axles. I want to make sure she's safe commuting back and forth to work. She has my Grand Caravan and has supplies just in case but she will be close to her home.

$1900 for cucv axle set is way to much, the front 60 is worth all of 1000bucks, but a 1ton 14bolt is worth probably 500bucks, so $1500 is full blown retail. 1300dollars is a fair price IMO I sold my set for $1000 because I really needed them gone

 

[Stepside Billy]

That's why I figured they're not sold yet. I'm in no rush to get them so I'm not going to overpay for a set. Besides the deeper I get into this truck the more stuff I find that needs replacing!

That rocks!! My daughter would love that!

did those vans actually come with solid front axles at any point? sorry to keep going off topic but that thing does look pretty damn fun.

 

[Stepside Billy]

I'm not even sure if they even came in all wheel drive, but Dodge would sell a boatload of them set up like that!
