Those d60 are heavy mothers. Probably take 3 guys to get it into a pickup bed. Tractor and bucket be good. When I got mine I used my snowmobile trailer and rolled it on by myself, not fun. It was hard to secure also. But should fit length ways with plenty of room

 

they should fit in a short box diagonally, i lifted mine to the back of my truck alone, which i will never attempt again. i did it in stages. i made steps out of buckets or milk crates, and lifted one side a foot at a time till it was to the tailgate lol. two can lift it, painfully...

 

I used a tractor and a 16ft trailer. used a tractor and chain to put it under my truck. Had the other tractor with a boom on it to lift the truck up.

 

Gotta quick question, My axle were it usually says 60 or 50, Says 360. with like a clock print beside it. Whats this?

 

when I got mine the guy pulled the motor, tranny,fenders, and took a torch and wacked the frame off behind leaf spring mounts and said here ya go! used tractor and loader to sit it in bed of long bed truck on a couple of old tires. for $1300. Drove straight home and started hacking the ttb six hours later I was crusin on my solid axle.

 

Iv got 900 in my front and back. And 3 days.

 

A couple days ago I was all about doing this mod as I located a complete one for slightly under a thousand. The guys says it's in good shape, but hard to tell from pictures. However, it had roughly 200k on it and I can get my TTB completely rebuilt for that. I know, I know.. I'll be doing it again in another 5 years, but I just don't put the miles on it like I used to. I'm lucky to 7k a year on it anymore.

 

I have a 97 f-350 4x4 with 4:10s and I want to swap them out and go to 3:55s ..... willing to trade if possible...

 

Already got new axles and all. So no need to swap unless you want a d-50

 

Check craigslist and the regional forums (GA, TN, SC, etc) and you might be able to find someone who wants to swap axles or has some on a parts rig...

 

Or advertise on craigslist that you want to swap axles

 

Yep, when I wanted to convert mine from dually to SRW I posted it in a few different places and ended up finding a member here on FTE who was only 2 hours away from me who traded axles with me and even helped me swap it in!
