Marti Report for Highboy?

Has anyone with a 1975ish highboy ordered a Marti report? Specifically with the D44 6CF HD front end (big knuckle)? I ordered one and it came back as a Dana 60... which my literature shows was not available in a 1975 F250 4x4. I am emailing back and forth with them trying to straighten it out. I think they just don't know what it is maybe and the "6" made them just figure it was a D60.

Thoughts?

Shane

The dana 60's in those years came with the big hubs, same axles as dana 44 HD. the only part that was dana 60 was the ring and pinion and housing. The best I can remember. Have you looked at your center section to see if it is a 60?

Nope the center section of a D44 6CF-HD is pure Dana 44. We just rebuilt it all. Only the knuckle out is from a closed knuckle D60.

Little Pumpkin. Big knuckles. That’s a d60 gasket for comparison

If you have a 44 center section, then Marti is wrong, unless axle has been changed at some point in it's life.

Right. The bigger picture being that I think he is wrong about all of them, not just mine. The f250 didn’t come with a d60 front at all those years (according to the paperwork I have) and I think they are misreading the 6cf HD to be a Dana 60. I sent him an email with documents and what I knew. Just wondered if anyone else had done a report and what they got back.

really? That’s interesting. Which axle did your truck come with? Do you know?
