If you're building a Kingpin Dana 60 front axle for a Chevrolet, you know that sourcing all the individual outer components can be a massive headache. In this technical walkthrough, the Wide Open Design team shows you our GM Dana 60 Outer Kit, designed specifically for the Chevy 6-bolt spindle pattern [00:14]. We’ve curated everything you need—from the spindle and wheel hubs to the 3/4-ton brake brackets and rotors—so you don't have to spend hours hunting for compatible parts [00:21]. We demonstrate the correct assembly sequence, showing why the spindle always goes on first for a Chevy build [01:27], followed by the brake bracket and the wheel hub assembly [01:35]. This kit even includes the spindle nuts with a dowl-pin keeper system, ensuring your wheel bearing preload stays exactly where you set it [02:51].
The goal was simple: make Dana 60 front-end assembly easy, reliable, and completely straightforward.
The WOD GM Dana 60 Front End Outer Kit includes:
• GM Dana 60 spindle
• Wheel hub assembly
• Bearings & races
• Brake brackets
• 3/4-ton brake rotors
• Calipers
• Wheel studs
• Spindle nuts
• Dowel-pin locking keeper system
• Necessary hardware
Designed for:
• Chevrolet Kingpin Dana 60 axles
• 6-bolt spindle pattern knuckles
