How Rare is this?

Just wondering if this setup is rare?
My nieghbor Has a massive junkyard( My Parts Store)
He allows me to take parts as long as i close the doors and hoods, and the gate on the way out.
On my last parts run i seen a rolled 73-79 f150 4x4 with coil-over springs and a solid dana 44 front axle. its dual shock and looks to have a 6" lift.
I cant find any info on these trucks running this setup.
I am planning on using the front end for my Korr(canadian version on CORR) sportsman truck.
Haven't seen any dentsides run this setup.
I am definately using it. as the truck has only flipped on its roof.
Have a 1974 frame to put on it, and a 73 390 and np435 and using a divorced np205. and a ford 9"
Haven't checked the gear ratio in either axles but hopping the front is 4.10 cause i have a 4.10 9 inch crown and pinion.
Will have a cool build post coming up in january about it.
Best thing is it will be mostly free to build.

1/2 ton 5 lug coil spring with radius arms and solid D44 is a standard set up. Duel shocks is a factory order option, normally on Bronco's.

Only the 6" lift is aftermarket, sound like a good parts find for the price. And for sure post up some build pics, you know we all like that.

Not rare at all. The solid 44 came under all the 4x4 half ton dentsides. And the dual shocks was an option, but if it has the 6" lift...I'd be willing to bet the shock mounts are aftermarket too.
