Front Differntial Cover?

My Front Diff cover is about to rust thru. I figured I would just run down to Napa and get a new one.... BUTTTT they dont list it? I checked Autozone, and Advance Auto also. I cant belive that they dont make a replacement cover for the dana 50. How many Millions of them are running down the road in superdutys? Is it the same as a Dana 60?

Thanks

I think I actually have my stock Dana 50 cover out in the garage. You could have it for the shipping costs. I'm in Atlanta, no idea what it'd cost to you.

Thanks, I think I am just going to order the Front and Rear from Parts Guy Ed and be done with it......

Its a Ford "Sterling" 10.5". If you can break this rear end, you need to loose your licence.

I ended up ordering both the fronrt and the 08 aluminum rear from partsguyed.com. For the cost it was pretty much a no brainer to go with the aluminum cover. Only 10 bucks more than the steel one!

Thanks for the offer wbuffetjr1 anyhow.
