Hey Guys, I got a question do you know what vehicles would have an offset passenger side drop rear Dana 60?

dont know about the offset rear but im assuming that you want to run w/ an offset rear output? you can run a centered rear end w/ the offset rear output and be fine. i ran the other way for years and didnt have one problem. (centered output and offset rear end).
this is assuming that you have the clearence for the shaft (clears gas tank/x-members)

The 79 and earlier j20 had an offset rear D60. More offset if it came from behind a quadratrac transfer case.

How much offset are you looking for.... like buggy axles with extreme (>20") offset?

Depending on how much offset you might be looking for a D60 housing and some tubing.

Also early 70's ferd econoline 3/4-ton vans.
Off-set about as much as a quadr-trac'd J20.

Well the reason i ask that question is because i was fortunate enough to pick up a 1963 Willys FC 150 and if u dont know much about them they have a dana 18 transfercase.

You would be fine with a 60 that came behind a Dana 20 xfer case or a QT. The Dana 60 rear that was behind a Dana 20 case would be best but the one from a QT rig would work.

if you are not set on the 60, you can always get a ford nine inch rear end from an early half and 3/4 ton ford van. the vans that were really flat faced. their nine's are off sett a lot to the right and can take a lot of abuse. i have seen these in jeeps with high horsepower 383s' and dana 18 transefer cases. just another option
