75 crewcab project

So I've got a 75 crewcab 4x4 f250 with what I believe is a Dana 70 front end. Ive got big plans for this truck. Im gonna put a 12 valve cummins motor in it with the 5 speed tranny all from a two wheel drive and get a custom driveline built to use my divorced transfer case. Id like to swap out the front end for something with disc brakes (any suggestions??). Im planning on putting a 2" suspension lift on it so I can fit some 35's while keeping some suspension travel. Any Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

lets see a pic of that front axle. And I'd get a 78-79 Dana 60 front for the weight of that Cummins.

If it's original to the truck it's a low pinion D60

What part of Montana are you in?

The low pinion 60 and 44HD were the only axles to use the big Spicer hubs.

I'd like to see some pics of the whole truck too. What's the axle code?

If you decide to "upgrade" to a 78/79 Dana 60, I would definitely be interested in the old axle if you wanted to get rid of it.
