The current axle setup I have for my 4wd conversion is a dana 60 rear geared 4:10 and a Dana 44 6cf front geared 4:09. I am having a really hard time finding a diagram and parts for the 44 6cf front. I am currently considering getting a dana 60 disk break front but I have some questions. Do a want a high pinion or low pinion dana 60 front? Also I would like to stick with the 4:10 rear gear ratio, what should the front axle be geared? I have been told that the front ratio must be one tooth less, is that correct?
trucks that came from the factory with Dana 60's were 4.10's front and rear. You dont need a 0.01 difference in gear ratio. For example 3.73's front and rear, 3.54's, 4.56's etc. These all match.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Just wondering why don't you need that 0.01 difference on the 60s as you do a 60- 44 combo?
What would you call a decent price? I've seen them go for around a grand.
Sounds about right depending on condition. I've seen them go as high as $1500, $1200 seems to be about the going rate for a HP KP D60. The LP D60s are pretty much worthless, maybe a couple hundred at the most. You could always get a ball joint HP 60 out of an OBS or something. Those are a lot cheaper.

Thanks for input guys! Fordcrazymike, u mentioned getting a HP ball joint 60 out of an OBS, what is that? Sorry if that a stupid question but I don't know the term.
I am in Michigan also and watch craigslist around the state. Most HP60's go for around $1000 but I have seen them for less. I think there is one in Carleton for $800. I have also seen them for as low as $500. Just have to keep looking for a good deal.

I don't know for sure, but a guy told me a while back that someone mentioned a guy in the thumb had a lot of stuff. If I find out who, I'll let you know.
