Double check the #'s to be positive it is a F350 with its original parts and not a clone!

I call it giving morons 1/2 a parking space to open their doors without dinging mine.

Plus the lot isn't nearly full.

"Dumb" cars are tucked up in the wheel well.

If this is an F350 it's missing the correct front axle assembly. It should be a high pinion D60 and not the D44.

Dang, I'm going to go look at it this week end. I was hoping it was a true f350. Did the f250 come with a different axle or do you think they stuck a f150 axle under it. Dang it is a nice truck too

All 78/9 4x4 S-cab's are leaf sprung in the front. F150 is of course, 5"x5.5"-5 lug w/D44
F250's & F350's are 8x6.5 8-lug.
'78 F250's can be equipped with either the D44 or D60 front axle assemblies depending on options or how it was ordered.
'79 F250's, all have the D44...that I've seen.
'79 F350's (birthyear for the F350 factory built 4x4!) got the D60 front.
