Too much/little for a D60?

[Max Power]

stock disc rear, looks too good to be true. This has the funky metric lug pattern right?

i'm not too sure about e-350 rear axles as far as spline count, lug pattern information or anything...

if it's 35 spline (i doubt it) it would be a sweet deal. if it's 30 spline... I'd say it isn't anything too great. you could pick up a 14 bolt for next to nothing and put new disc brakes on it for less than $300.. same gearing, more strength... but more diff to drag too...

i know that on the trucks 99 and up ment that FUNKY metric bolt pattern. Also i believe the Van axles are going to be even WIDER then a Fullsize truck axle... So thats something to bear in mind.. If you can find a matching front for not too much and you need new rims it might not be TOO bad..
I think the 14 bolt just has too much for dragin'but thats my personal opinion.. its a great axle though..

The Vans kept the 8 on 6.5" bolt-circles, even after the pickups went to 8 on 170mm.

Still, as Slowag mentioned, the width would be the problem. The calipers would be on the outside of the body...

The right rear axle tube is stamped with the build code of the axle as it came from the factory.

No guarantee that something/many things have not changed in the mean time.

Get the build code for additional info.

wider is better. period. a wider stance will let you run more lift and tires. if your truck is still gonna be a daily driver, thats another story.
