I am looking a shipping a pair of axles [D/60F and D70 rear] anyone know what the rough weight of these axles are complete hub to hub?
Thank you

sooty

ive lifted both around, i bought mine with the front torn out of it, totaled condition, id say 450 lbs for the pair, strapped to a crate base.

I have pulled a few dana 60 F and I was guessing # 400ish for just the front and less for the back Dana 70. I used a engine hoist to load the last Dana 60F in the back of the truck. Once in the back I could lift one end and move it around a little but it was HEAVY.
Thanks, sooty for shipping costs I hope you are right.

Hey Oliver, You know I just swapped a 60/70 set. I picked em up with my tractor forks. I'll bet the front loaded with the rotors an calipers was close to 500lbs. And I'd say 400 for the rear w/ the drums. I lowered them so I just had to pick the tires up about 1" to hang them on the axle. Socked down the lug nuts and lowered and rolled em under the frame.

Thanks, Timmy22
That is about what I was thinking.

Sooty has lost his mind. LOL. no offense. I'd say right around 1000 pounds both strapped to a pallet

I was starting to feel like a wussy for using a engine hoist to put a pulled Dana 60F in the back of a truck if it only weighed #200-250 with three grown men standing around it!
Thanks guys
