53moneypit, it's good that you mention that as 47chevy6400 will have to deal with that problem. In my case, I'm already putting a Dana 70HD in the back of my truck so matching gears won't be a problem for me. I can't speak for 47chevy6400, but in my case, I'm switching to a 4x4 setup because there are places on our farm where our 55 6400 2nd series gets hung up (hilly muddy crossings into fields that cross creeks, etc.) and 4x4 will come in very handy. And you just never know when the old 48' D4 Caterpillar is going to need a tow
Grigg,
I had considered using 8 lug wheels in the front, but the stock spacing for the DRW Dana 60 still puts the wheels I was looking at out too far, and the SRW Dana 60 would put them in much further, and the spindle tube would be sticking way out since dually wheels are offset inward so much. If I made 2-3" adapters, I could keep common wheels all the way around, get the spacing more ideal to what I want, and the spindle tube would only stick out past the wheel about 3 inches.
Might be a better way to go for others though.
