why did nobody tell you about a D60-2?  it came out of 60's and 70's fords.  they were semi float, 5x5.5 lug pattern, and had 35 spline axles that neck up to over 2" past the splines.  i sold one for $250 awhile back. 


check ebay for better prices.  i got a detroit for a 14b for about $300.  and if you are going to run a spool, you can just weld it.  you can weld both the open carrier (prefered) and you can weld the gov-loc carrier aswell.  i say this cause i have friends that run welded gov-locs.  and a "stock carrier" does not cost $221.  another 14b with a "stock" aka open carrrier shouldnt run you more than about $150.  another option is get a millitary 14b.  i got mine for (we will say) $500.  it has 4.56 and a detroit already.  then add your 5.13 gears and the install kit, and you still saye money.


your "total" cost is a lot higher than it needs to be.  why not save some money and be "creative" about how you buy your parts?  but what do i know, i struggle to eat sometimes.
