I bought a matched set a long time ago. They fetch good money, as is. Most fronts alone regularly go for $1000. I asked, asked some more, and searched until I got fed up with not getting any sort of a concrete answer on how to run a D60/70 setup and use the stock bolt pattern. At the time, I kind of wanted the easier way out, instead of buying a centered rear, Helitool brakes, and higher-than-ridiculous ARB lockers and 4.30 gears. I now have a centered WC rear (which isn't even any good), modified hubs, and a matched pair of Helitool brake sets... and a set of Danas. I've been extremely hesitant to touch anything on the truck for the past three years, because I simply cannot decide the best route to go and have exactly what I NEED, not just what I want. It sucks seeing my '50 just sitting in the driveway, unused and exposed to the elements, but I don't want to make a wrong decision and regret it later- I have too much respect for the truck to do something practically irreversible just on a whim.
