Front dana 44 & Dana 60

[heep70]

So while I am waiting to be OK'ED to post on the dent side forum I thought I would pick your noodle baskets.

What year span of 3/4 or 1 ton Ford truck Dana 44 or Dana 60 front axles are a direct bolt in into a 73 dent 3/4 4X4?

Thanks

Since you are talking about a dent side you'd be better off asking on fordification.net (I believe) although I'm sure there is someone on here who will know.

'79 and earlier but I'm not sure how much earlier but as far back as '67 for sure

Well, you can go way back to 67 I believe, maybe 65, but I would look for a 76-79 so you can have disc brakes.

Roughly 65-75 will be a no questions asked bolt in. The 77.5-79 high pinion open knuckle axles will be the most desirable but they require a new master cylinder, proportioning valve, the pitman arm off of a 76 or 77 truck, and potentially a remount of the drivers side shock tower. The 73 should should be almost identical to your 71 as far as chassis goes
