I don't know about that gvwr of 8800 ? I'm looking at a title for the last truck I cut up and it was a '79 f-350 4x4 with a F3 beginning vin and the gvwr is 8550 on the title, so I don't know how any other Low Boy 3/4 ton 4x4 could have a higher rating. I'd ask them to check on that again.

If the GVWR on this truck is really #8800 maybe it's a 'Sno-Fighter' edition with the front D60, which would explain the higher GVWR.

Hopefully that's exactly what is going on here. Like I said I was trying to extract any info I could about the truck from this guy and he didn't know much. However, he was ADAMANT that the truck had the 8800# spring package. Fingers crossed.

bolts up to 73 f250
I got a dana 60 out of a 76 with dual piston calipers. I had a HD44 with drum brakes that would not stay adjusted. The Dana 60 bolted right up to my 73 like it was made for it.
To see if it is a Dana 60 look at the right rear side of the axle for the markings. If you are real lucky it might still have the tag hanging from the cover.

I would be gone TONIGHT, if I ran into a deal like that. I mean, I'm talking about using sick days at work and just hitting the road if the truck has a HP D60. In the other case, I think even if a truck was being given to me I wouldn't ask so many questions to see what's up front, like other's have said just go get it and the parts can always be used or sold off. If your lucky it has what you WANT, if not all it is in the end is time and some effort to save a truck!

I know! Knowing my luck, that truck is gonna be in great condition, fire right up, but it is going to be up on cinder blocks missing the front axle...
