Highboy Axle
Hey guys, I've got a set of '74 f250 axles and transfer case that I'm going to sell soon. I'm just curious wether or not the original low pinion closed knuckle front axle is a hard item to find. I haven't found any for sale using the search function. I have no idea if this stuff is rare or if I should just fire sale it! I need the room to finish my 57 f100 project.

The axle's not very desirable unless you find a buyer still running the closed knuckle axles (they are out there).
The big ball axle (12-bolt) is worth more than the small ball axle (8-bolt).
The T-case if a 205 (gear driven) has value, the 203 (chain driven) not so much.

Where are you two at? Do you have the large knuckle axles? If you do and are halfway close, I am interested (depending on price, of course).

Are they 8-bolt or 12-bolt?

Kind of strange, but I'm in Reno also. My axles are 8 bolt, Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear I believe. The rear is full floating, both are drums. I believe they were off a '74, but I bought them almost 25 years ago. I still have the frame but I had already begun the process of shortening it way back when! I think I'll just scrap it.
I still have the original springs, both axles, and the transfer case. I have no idea what the axles are worth. I've seen the cases going for $250 to $300 on this website. If I can't sell the axles right away I'll park them in my yard for a while but the frame has to go right away! I also have the original wheels. I was told they were split rims. Are those worth anything?
By the way Hotfalcoon, are you really in Reno and building a '57? I figured I was the only one in this area that had an interest in those things!

D57 yes I am in Reno (Cold Springs) and I am trying to build my '57 but have not made a whole lot of progress on it yet.
My brother also has a '57 that was our dads truck, it is mostly stock but has not had any attention in a long time either.
