RCV Dana 60 CV Axle Set for Ford F-250/350 ('78-'79)
SKU: CVJ60OS-FORD3
The RCV Ultimate Dana 60 CV Axle Set transforms the front end of your 1978–1979 Ford F-250 or F-350 into a true heavy-duty performer. These high-strength constant velocity axles replace the factory U-joint shafts, delivering twice the strength of OEM while maintaining full torque transfer at any steering angle.
Unlike U-joints—which weaken dramatically at full lock—RCV CV joints stay just as strong at extreme angles as they are straight. This eliminates binding, improves steering feel, increases articulation, and drastically reduces axle shaft failures when running big horsepower, deep gearing, or oversized tires.
Whether you’re restoring a classic, building a tow rig, or pushing a hardcore off-road truck, RCV Ultimate CV Axles provide unmatched durability with minimal maintenance.

Tech Insight
The 1978–1979 Ford Dana 60 is one of the most sought-after solid axles ever built—but the original U-joint shafts are still a major limiting factor under modern power, tire size, and suspension capability.
RCV eliminates this bottleneck with: -A constant-velocity joint that maintains full strength at full lock -35 spline inner & outer construction for maximum torque load -Stronger steering performance and smoother articulation -Reduced breakage on heavy trucks, V8 swaps, and aggressive off-road setups
For big-tire classic Fords, this is the ultimate steering-side strength upgrade.
