Axle question?

What years can I swap straight across on f250? I have a lead on one for 500 bucks that has 3:73 gears. If I can just swap I will break even after resaleing the donor truck. Good idea? Bad idea? Also my rear axle seals are leaking so I would be into that repair cost just to keep mine.

And just to clarify for the OP, the superduty axles have a 200mm bolt circle on the lug studs so the tires on your truck won't fit.

They started in the 80s. The 92 will bolt under the 95 just fine. I did this a few months ago from a 94 to a 97 and back. A lot of work, be careful use good quality jack stands.

So your truck is a 95 F250 and the other truck is a 92 what? A 92 F250HD will have a D50 TTB and an F350 will have a ball joint D60, assuming the axles are stock (3.73s aren't stock in a 92). Are you replacing the front, rear, or both?

Yes mine is a 250. I would swap both because I have the 4:10. And I do alot of freeway driving with minimal towing.
