An often overlooked D60 front that can usually be bought cheaper is the kingpin Dodge from the mid 70's to the early 90's. Got mine from an '87 W250 for $300. Added a $125 FF C&C 14b. Swapping to a stronger pass drop t-case makes the axle work and also strenghtens the aluminum case/chain drive weakness of a 231. I don't blame sellers for getting say $2K for a CUCV axle set because people will pay it. But why are they paying that for a used axle set? Even adding Grizzly lockers I have $1300 in my 1tons with new lockers front and rear. Running the factory LSD'S or welding one or both diffes would have made this axle set down right cheap.

If you are going to have that HP D30 apart these inner axle tube sleeves are supposed to really be a great upgrade especially if you weld on some C-gussets: http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...tegory_Code=UP
