CWLONGSHOT Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Got a boat?? It'll make a hell of an anchor!!! :D Seriously, its a hell of an axle, but one hell-of a HUGE one at that!!! They can be had cheap and are plentiful. Don't even think of it unless your gonna run 37" + tires...that pumpkin will drag on EVERYTHING!!! Now the 60 front... I would grab that! These are in demand and if you can get it cheap....you may be able to get some really good coin in a resale!!! My 2cents... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 *shrug* at the price of steel...well, free is good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 The 14 bolt is a PIG, but it can be shaved down, and you can have the ring gear turned down as well and gain something like an additional3.5 inches. Do a search on pirate... tons of info there about how to do it, and how to build a new diff cover. As for the front 60 if its a chevy it wil have the wrong side drop, so.... give it to me :D or swap in a different t-case and make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Once you shave a 14B, it's one of the strongest axles for the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 well, when I see it, we'll figure out what to do with it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 ha, well they're both complete. sorry it was dark so no pics. what's a 14 bolt worth? I'm keeping the front 60 for now as I have a rig available to become a truggy. I want a 60 rear. I also got a 58-ish willy's grille, and a brand new set of rear e-brake cables for a longbed comanche from the guy for free he has an old complete FC with a functioning willy's hydraulic plow, and some dana 205 divorced t-cases that he doesn't want (hence I'm grabbing them) plus a 340 and tranny for it that are set up for racing etc. the guy is a blacksmith as a hobby...builds swords and armour and the like. interesting fellow.

86FUBAR Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 the 14 bolt is worth its weight in copper as fer the e brake cables il give u one of my kidneys for it :cheers: :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 That grille is worth a bunch. I'd ask why you want a 60 rear? Most of them are 30 spline junk (strong as a D44). And they have a weaker R&P then the 14B. And the 14B carrier is BEEF. Oh, and detroits are hella cheap for a 14B. Man up and shave the 14B. There's a reason why a lot of the comp guys are running them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 that grille is 1953-1955 1956 the 3 bar grille came back. you've got a 5 bar grille. Plus its missing the little vent hole under the pass.side light. I'm grabbing that grille for future use on my CJ. Should definately look interesting. I'm still waiting on that '60 W-O pickup with the fact. PTO winch. The sorry-arsed P.O still wants $3000 for it and nobody will touch it, but I just got myself a 1980 CJ for $300. Rust free. yay!

pingpong Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 At most a 14b is worth 500, thats what you can get a military surplus one for that is "Brand New" In the military crate. By the way that is with 4.56's and a detriot :eek: There are a couple of companies selling them all ready converted to disc brakes for 750 :hmm: So they are pretty much worth nothing used, but their parts (mainly brakes if in good condition) are wortrh a few dollars to ppl who insist on keeping drums. I donated my drum parts to a local farmer for his farm truck :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
