I hate to ask such a noobe question but searching has only answer some questions.

I'm helping my nephew get a set of front & rear axles from a donor truck and would like to identify exactly what they are.

From what I can figure out so far the rear is a D60 FF with 4.10 gears and the front is a D44 low pinion with 4.09 gears and I think it's a Highboy.

Here's what I have as far as tags & #s.

Riveted door tag:

F26YRW82476

WB 133 - Color T - Type/GVW F261 - Body 4B4 - Trans A - Axle B4J

Max GVW LBS 07100 0 1975 72

The sticker on the door jamb: 04/75 GVWR 7100
GAWR: Front 3325 Rear 4290

The front axle looking at diff cover, upper right corner (cast) 4460C, lower left cover (cast) 35133

The rear axle tag has 2two lines: 4.10 D5TA LEB
603583 12

It has cast spacer blocks on rear between springs & axle. Does that mean Highboy? I only mention it as a possible help to ID axles, as only the axles are salvageable on the old girl.

Would the front axle be standard or HD and what does the rear have 16 or 30 spline shafts?

If 16 spline cab they be swapped out for 30 spline shafts?

We're on Big Island HI and choices are a bit more limited than on Mainland. I know it would be nicer to have a reverse spiral, HP D44, but not as many choices here, plus the price is right for these axles... free if we pull them. :-)

Tried to edit post to say it's an 8 lug, but wasn't able too so added it this way.

All 1967/76 F250 4WD & 1977 F250 4WD (before serial number Y20,001) are "High Boys."

F26 = F250 4WD Pickup.

Y = 360 2V

R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.

W82476 = 1975.

133" Wheelbase.

T = Red.

F261 = F250 4WD Pickup; 7100 lbs. GVWR

4B4: 4B = Black H/D Vinyl / 4 = Styleside Pickup.

Front axle tag located under two of the bolts that retains the inspection cover to the housing. By now, many are missing.

 

Thanks Bill, that is a big help!
If I understood a previous post of yours, the rear D60 will be a 30 spline, correct?
