Should I?
79 FORD 1 TON 4X4
Should I do it? I need a flatbed, and why not have another Dana 60 front laying around?

It's been rebuilt, and he don't know what the motor is...?
If he don't know that, then is it really a F350?
Check the vin number when you go look at it... I'd offer him 5, if it is a 1ton... From way he described the body, I bet it's pretty well ragged out...

Buyer beware...first make sure the VIN checks out (F36 will be the first three digits) and make sure it's legitimately a 60 up front (if you don't know how to visually inspect, the gear cover bolts on a 60 will have a 9/16 head, a 44 will have 1/2" heads). If those check out...the truck should be parked in your driveway.

I can easily tell if it's a 60. I can probably ID the motor (not that I care). I will have to go look at it monday.

The 300 I-6 was standard equipment, 351M & 400 were optional.
No 460 4WD or M/T until 1983, then in F350's only initially.
No 460 engines available in F100's after 1976, not available in F150's after 1979 (CA - 1978).
