Yeah, central MD. This is the listing I found https://baltimore.craigslist.org/pts/5280244318.html
I talked to the guy and he said it was a 4.10 so I'm hoping I can get it with hardware for $300-600.

Make sure you get the pitman arm, track bar, track bar bracket, and the u-bolt bracket for the drivers side. All the tire rod and drag link stuff too.

Just out of curiosity, when I look at the components of that truck it screams 2wd dually at me.. He does know your after a front axle correct?

He said yes, so I'm in the clear. I didn't even think of that though. I would have been VERY disappointed had it been a 2wd.

That would have been a royal pain. I don't want to derail this thread but I wanted to ask about your boost fooler...how do you make it and is it worth it?

I think I bought it here.. Not sure if a federal truck would need one.. Ive got splits and a 17 degree hpop.. Do you throw a CEL on overboost? My CEL still comes on but for hpop not boost.. Ive got it mounted neatly on the side of the engine cowl. Is it worth it? Id say yes..

I think that it may not be a problem since you have a CA truck and I have single shots. I have pulled 30+ psi and never gotten a CEL.

And to your original question...See if you can get the front drive shaft too, even if it needs rebuilding. And for super bonus points the front yoke from the transfer case.

Edited to add: Get the rear lift blocks too unless you have another solution to lift the rear. Many people will tell you to not reuse U-bolts... The 350 may also have an overload leaf and spacer bracket that may be of interest to you. You will need the frame 'ears' that that these settle onto.

Snag sway bar pieces if you can. The clamps on the axle can be tricky to source, but can be fab'd if you are handy. Same thing with the frame end of the sway bar links, front and rear.

The yoke from the t-case will only work if the it a '96 or '97 with a 4407 t-case. If the donor truck is a '95 or back, it has a 1356 t-case, and that yoke won't work on the 4407. And good call on the rear blocks and u-bolts! I forgot about those! LOL!
