93 F250 axles?

[akaFrankCastle]

Okay, anyone happen to know if there were ANY mid-90's F250s that would have had a D60 front axle in them? I'm thinking not, but I've got a guy selling a 5.8 powered, 5 speed, 4x4 F250 who is telling me it has a solid axle up front. I'd like to debunk this prior to making the drive to look at it. IIRC, there was no such animal. However, there is the possibility that maybe someone swapped one in later? Or ped another cab on the truck? This price is right enough for me to consider it, considering the motor and axles, if correct, would knock out a few purchases I have been considering for some time. Granted, it's a 93, so not a roller block (unless I am mistaken), but I think I can live with that.

Wish I could answer some of your questions, but I cannot. I just want the trans if its a ZF. I've decided the against a 4R70W and am looking for an affordable ZF close to home. Sorry to hi-jack, got a 5 speed addiction right now.

I believe there was a F-250 H.D. model that had a Dana 60.So its possible.

I have a friend in Rye selling one. Still not real close, but if you're interested, I'll get details.

Zack - can you stop and look at the truck. Pretty easy to tell if it's a D44 or D60. Even an HP D44 would be worth some coin.

93 JD. If it's not a D60, which I am pretty sure it won't be, it'll be a TTB front end.

Oh yeah, well that's even easier to identify... :)

I'm interested. Not a real top priority, but I'm too busy at work to do anything to my Bronco, so I'm daydreaming/shopping for future projects. Let me know. Thanks.

if you go the D60 route and the truck is a mid to late 90's (roller capable)i would be looking for a 351w.. if you part out and go that route ;)

also i would check fullsizebronco.com you should be able to find a thread on the F250's and what they have up front.. very very popular swap over there...

Only in the instance of a 70's F350 would I consider buying a truck just for axles. ;)
This thing was a 93 351W powered, ZF 5 speed truck. Only piece of the driveline I would have scrapped would have been the transfer case. And 800.00 for the entire thing, driving home, was pretty tempting.

But, we're in the middle of prepping for a move, I'm out of town 3 of the next 4 weeks, and the Powerstroke has manages to crack an injector cup (93.00 each), so this puppy will have to go to someone else.

On that note, if someone else is interested....well, you know what to do.
