    I'm close to Albany, NY now. Watkins springs looks good.

    I guess there are plusses to being metro and not rural. Everything's an hour away.

    I only know of whitesboro spring in the Utica, NY area. I'll have to ask at a hydraulic shop... Seriously though, big truck dealers, maybe u haul, etc would know. Possibly the 4x4 shops and builders, Snow plow installers?

    If anyone is interested in the D70 cucv take out, or d80 w 4.56 gears let me know, I'll send the links to you. I found a, after a week of unanswered calls, very nice 14 bolt, C&C axle with 4.56 gears. Guy sounds decent and runs a wrecking yard. 14k miles, and was driven on Sundays to church...

    I just found this, which says it is: If so, I think the locker would fit? It also says all D60's had a Trac lock too... Axles All axles full floating. Front axle on all variants is Dana 60 with Spicer Trac-lok (limited slip) and locking hubs, ratio: 4.56:1. Rear axle on M1028 and A1: 10.5 inch...

    Is the cucv D70 a d70hd? Will the locker from the cucv D70 fit a D80? Just how wide is a dually D80? Is the D80 a lot more animal than a 14 bolt? I know I hammer in with a lot of questions, but I hate that "I should have..." stuff. There's a D80 with 4.65 gears out of a 78 motorhome on Craigs, I...

    I'm hoping it's in there as it was a cucv axle.

    It's always been this way too. Used to be we would write $50.00 on the bill of sale. Then they made a minimum value to prevent that. Back when I was a kid, you could buy a running Chrysler Cordoba ETS for $50 bucks. A-holes is right.

    Just a tad overkill, or go for it?

    What's an open diff D70 worth? I can't afford to take a loss right now.

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    It was a cucv, per owner. I asked them to spinning a hub and see what the other one does and if it feels like their connected to each other. I'm definitely buying if it's locked. Otherwise I'll go narrow 14 bolt. Is there any chance of my 14 bolt, larger, ujoint yoke I bought fitting it? Or...

    Before I take off on an odyssey... What are the odds it's not 4.56 or not a detroit locker?

    Stoopid taxes. Moving out of NY to get away from them. Besides my FFL, I needed a business licence and a special license to work on handguns, even tho I have a carry permit. All about the money. It's bad enough what they tax your income alone.

    Hated to do it, but read a little on the subject. Under 26k, over 10k is non CDL, but needs a DOT# and medical certificate card. Sleep apnea, if treated and CPAP used 70% or more is legal. Even for CDL. What is the cost of a CDL?

    Oops, my bad. I meant only towing two axle trailers, not putting two axles on my truck. Trying to stay legal. I don't know the laws, I assumed two axles was non DOT regulated under a certain weight. Like I could trailer a car, cattle trailer, etc.

    I don't foresee a CDL, sleep apnea. Figured I might make pin money doing some dual axle hauling. Not likely? Trying to become more self employed after 30 years of being a nurse. Need to have guy work for a change, and gunsmithing isn't going to pay the bills, even tho I enjoy it. With a bigger...
