what rear end ?

what did ford use for a rear end in a 78 f350 2 wheel drive truck ? ( flat bed, not pick up ). saw one at a pick n pull and was wondering if it will work in my 78 f250 4x4.

I heard that they used either a Dana 60 or Dana 70. But, don't quote me because I can be wrong.

Should be a Dana 70. I think the frames are narrow on a f350 though. If you measure the distance in between the spring perches it will tell you. If it is the same as your truck then it will work.
