Its absolutely re-GD-diculous how many "79 F350s" are out there.

Apparently George is rare based off the staggering number of 350 owners compared to 250s

I'd grab those engine stands if they can be bought cheep. They will sell for $40 or more taken off, cleaned up and boxed up.

Look in my signature. '79 F350 4x4. VIN number begins with F36.

Kris, I know what you mean, F250s become F350s, F150s become "highboys" and 360s become 390s. It has something to do with the aging process of these old trucks. They just get better and better with time...

To the original poster, just out of curiosity, what are you planning to put the D60 in?

The recipient for the Dana 60 (if it turns out to be one) will be my '84 F150. I wanna do something like Paul did, and do a coil sprung D60 SAS with either a Dana 70 or a Sterling 10.25 and set the truck on 38's.

Sweet, sounds like a killer setup. Is your truck a shortbed?

I love seeing anything on tons. In fact, I love seeing a capable off-road rig, period. All I ever see around where I live are kids with those ra-tarded body lifted F-150's, and those 2.5" lifted Stupid Duties on 33" A/T's that mommy and daddy gave them.

Have you looked in FTEs 4x4 pics thread? This comment pretty much sums it up.

na uh, technically it was a mid year thing, 1985.5, not all 85 f350 4x4's have d60 fronts.

and technically it's also 77.5-79 for the good early d60's as well.
