F350 info

Hey guys new to this forum thing.
I just inherited a 1988 Ford F350 7.3 liter diesl 1/2 ton pick up..its actually my very first diesel I've ever owned...so I'm really new to this..I'm having a kingpin issue can't find someone to repair them so I'm thinking of just swapping out the front axles....would a 410 axle line up with a 355? Or is there anyway I could just convert from kingpins to ball joints?

A 4.10 axle will work only if you NEVER use the 4x4. If you do you'll break expensive parts.

welcome to FTE.
what problems are you having with the kingpins? the kingpin axle is much better than the ball joint axle, and most truck owners would kill to get their hands on a king pin D-60
