I will trade you my lincoln locked 14b with 5.38s + cash for the 60.

Nope and you just saw how I made the 35 spline spool for a 14 bolt, so at the very least it could be a 35 spline steering axle.

Nothing to see here John, LOL. Our friend Sean just broke over the weekend, he snapped the pinion off his 60 rear during a short blaze threw a field.
Now Miguel has the same basic drivetrain laid out for his buggy and is questioning the 60 rear he wants to build. So I have my old 14 bolt the one I cracked the plug welds, well I cut it up for scrap a few years ago but were thinking if Miguel wanted to do a 14 bolt rear steer ( for the larger pinion head ) then this axle would be the one.

Horse power and suction cup tire's make's you open the wallet that much more

I doubt youd be interested as it would be the center chunk only, everything else would be used to steer the 14bolt.

[Twisty]

F that!!!   

[Twisty]

Actually, I might be interested in taking the center chunk off of you.

PM me a price if you decide to do it.

[mika401]

Will let you know if Jason doesn't want it

Hey Tim would you be interested in my old 60 that was in the red Jeep?
Shaved, trussed, 35 spline Moser chromo shafts...

[Twisty]

Probably not.  I don't think it would be any upgrade for me.  I was curious about the 60 center section because I could re-tube it for rear steer, and still be able to have convenient seals. 

I will probably end up rear-steering the 14b with aftermarket C's and knuckles.

I made it so you know it wont break

A big plus is its set up for a 4 link ( Balistic joints on the bottom and 5/8 JJ joint top ) and to make it full size again just run DRW hubs, bingo instant rear steer

Tim I just made a 14 bolt 35 spline spool over the weekend, well its not for a 14 bolt its actully for a HO72, but they use the same side gears as a 14 bolt. So the custom ( easy to make ) side gears fit in and welded just nicely into a Orb of traction.

question, if you looking to build a light weight buggy, why front and rear 14 bolts.. thats some serious weight. I understand the strength, but I am sure a fabbed 9" front and rear built to the hilt could live a long life in a truely light weight buggy?

[mika401]

I guess it comes down to if your racing or crawling.
Crawling yes as lightweight as possible and your COG as low as possible.
Racing, meh its more about durability & reliability then anything else, a 9" pinion is only slightly larger then a 60 not nearly as big as a 14 bolt.

Think about it if your snapping 60 pinions at the splines due to torque, how do you upgrade in order to have piece of mind?

9" is smaller than a 60

just wondering, that's all, just seamed a little counter intuitive to what we talked about couple weeks ago

It also come's down to what Miguel will be producing for power. After his tune he will be in a 375-400 range that alot of power going threw a 1.125 pinion shaft. So were thinking, just thinking of a back up axle that could be built.

Me I'm going with the HO72 axle, the pinion is a little overkill http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9645689&postcount=41 and the housing is alot lighter than a 60 and a 14 bolt.
There built just like a 9" but with a 10" ring gear ( 10.125" to be exact ) and have a thrust or a load bolt to keep the pinion from deflecting. I found a 3rd with a 5.14's and this axle will be my rear and for now I will have a Chevy 60 front with 5.13's.

Bastard had to be different with your HO crap!!!
