RCV 35-Spline Dana 60 CV Axle Set for GM 1-Ton
SKU: CVJ60OS-GM1
Upgrade your classic GM 1-ton truck with the proven strength and articulation of the RCV Ultimate Dana 60 CV Axle Set. These high-strength constant velocity axles replace the factory U-joint shafts, eliminating binding and providing twice the strength of OEM—even at full steering angle.
Unlike U-joints that lose strength, bind, and vibrate when turned, RCV CV joints maintain full torque capacity at every angle. The result is smoother steering, improved traction, and dramatically increased durability when running big tires, deep gearing, or high-horsepower engines.
Whether your build is a restored K30 workhorse, a V30 trail rig, or a swapped performance truck, RCV CV axles deliver reliability with minimal maintenance—backed by RCV’s No Questions Asked Limited Lifetime Warranty.

- Left & right high-strength CV axle shafts
- 35-spline outer stub shafts

Tech Insight
The GM Dana 60 is a legendary housing, but the factory U-joint shafts are a known weak link—especially when drivers add horsepower, lockers, or oversized tires. RCV’s Ultimate CV Axles solve this by eliminating the U-joint entirely.
Benefits include:
✔ Full steering-angle strength with no binding
✔ Smooth, consistent torque delivery
✔ Major increase in axle shaft durability
✔ Reduced wear and vibration
✔ Ideal for heavy towing, off-road abuse, and big-tire performance builds
This is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a GM 1-ton Dana 60 front axle.
