Don't stop there!!! Fluids are good to run the beast.........................On my way to get my P motor,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
This has to be one of the best documented builds I've ever read on the net!!AWESOME work Don!
And with that, I could hear the chow bell, time to call this one done for the day, #216 in the ever evolving SquareD build project
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Don I searched an failed possibly, but what is the deal with the hubs? Maybe I can help.
...apparently Dodge had some minor differences in a couple of years, and JR and I might have just fallen into that spider-hole.Anyway, you can see where Tate is trying to get this ciphered out in a post or two north of this one...
Oh your meaning the wheel hubs with no outer snap ring groove? That's a common known issue with early internal hub axles. You can have it machined in if you feel it's required. Usually those hubs were used on 89-90 trucks. Most often on Dana 61's in my experience. But as with anything Dana, some exceptions do apply LoLI have about 10 Dana 60 fronts laying around, I should probably check and see if I have any sans outer snap rings.
hmmmmmmm.... Can you snap a picture of the assembly? How it fits, or doesn't in this case, and then a picture of the spindle/caliper bracket sans hub?
you're on the right track. in fact, 12.0" gm dodge stubs, 11.4" for stubs. but Don's hubs were in functional/in use prior to disassembly, stubs changed, but only in spline count. original axle measured up the same so I'm doubting the ford hub scenario. I'm leaning more towards the fact that these come with two possible spacer scenarios, one for dodge/gm and one for ford. originally he had these installed in the HP d60 destined for Cmax, a ford application. if he "lost" the other spacer that could create this scenario, but the main gear could also be mismachined. I'm hoping for a simple solution that involves me shipping a few extra parts and Don happily installing them. Stay tuned...

It's weird, but I removed that small spacer altogether and the assembly still sticks out. I'll get some pics of it in the shop today and dump them on the thread tonight
