59-60 4x4
I recently went to a junk yard in my town and saw an early model ford 4 wheel drive. After i came home and checked around on this site i realized it was probably a 59 or 60 model. The body is in good shape, but it needs an engine. I was just wondering what the this truck would have for a front/rearend, i was thinking either a dana 44 or dana 30 and ford 9". It has a 5 lug pattern so i guess it's a f-100 or f-150.
I appreciate any help that you could give me.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I was also wondering what kind of transfer case might be under the truck. It is a divorced transfer case behind a standard transmission. Thanks again for the help.

I just bought a 1959 4x4 it has 9 inch differentials at both ends check to see if there is a removable center section or if it has a removable diff cover that is a good and easy way to tell what king of axle you are looking at.
