Trying to figure out what front axle I have. I have an early production 76 f-250. Vin # F26YRA03333. Axle code 24J. Tag on front diff. reads D6 TA ACC. 4:09 gear ratio. Tag on door jamb says it is 3550 GAVW. What I can find in my books says it is a Dana 60F. Stamped on outside of pig housing is a 44 then 60F. I think it is a Danna 44. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Not a numbers guy or anything, but my guess is it's a Dana 44HD, Dana 60 fronts only came in F-350 4x4's I believe, but I'm not an expert...lol

 

Take a closer look and you'll see the 60F is actually 6CF, it's a big hub D44HD often mistaken for a D60.

 

My 74 has that same tag stamped on it and mines a HD44 so thats prob is.

 

Thanks for the responses guys. I figured it was a d44, just wasn't sure if it was a HD44. Hey Montana, will those D44 parts you posted from e-bay work on this axle. Thanks

 

Yes they will, he's added a few more parts since i last linked to it....

Thanks for the info Montana. Bought my 76 highboy from your great state about 1 year ago. Will have to start a build thread on it soon. Just finished insulating and putting in a wood stove for heat so I can work on it in the cold weather.

 

No problem Hickory, where in MT. did you buy your highboy?

 

Billings. You probably know the guy. Bought it thru a used car dealer that was selling it for someone.

 

No, i'm up in the opposite corner of the state, the Kootenai valley.

 

what part of the valley ive worked up there alot

 

Up in the Libby area.
