Is it the only choice??? Or a 76, 78, 79 will fit. I think for the front, I have to find a dana 44 with the pinion above the axle. And for the rear I have to find a 9" rear at least. I am right???? But witch year I have to look for? I don't know all the possible combination.
Need help please

I've been looking for the same thing for my 78 F150 4x4. Mine has a 460/c6 and 9". I also have a 79 with a 351/manual and a 9" and the shafts are the same. I took the shaft off the 79 and put it on the 78. The only problem was that the flange on the double cardan joint (that bolts to the t-case) had a different bolt spacing. Same u-joints, but different bolt pattern. I ended up using the double cardan joint from the 78 and it worked great.
I'm having a friend make me a whole new shaft for the rear. They're pretty dang expensive though.
I also found that the shafts at the boneyard are usually toast. Like someone else said, the forklifts usually bend them picking them up. But, if you can find a shaft with a good slip yoke and a good cardan joint, it's really cheap to have the tube replaced.
Good luck.
