Hello, My question is:
will a axle, front, rear, entire drive line from a pick up F450(not cab and chassis) fit underneath my f350 pick up ? I know ratios are different between trucks and everything has to be the same. Question is will it physically bolt up, front and rear axles ?
I am not concerned with how much axles costs, about fenders and flares, selling truck and getting f450 truck, etc…
just would like some intel on will the F450 Dana front and rear 4.30 axles physically all bolt up underneath a F350 ?

thanks everyone in advance!

 

I initially thought this wasabi brained but you did not say if your 350 is a DRW or SRW?

if DRW, you would probally be changing more than axles and drive train.

and again the trim level matters for all the electrical assist stuff.


i had a 150 and after failing to make it a 250, I traded it in for a 250.

same story for 250 to 350

same story for 350 SRW to 350 drw

And finally same story for 350 DRW to 450 drw

im sure it can be done if you had a donor rolled over truck that landed and stayed roof to the ground.

 

I don't think it will, you would have to have the frame too. Mounting points would be an issue.

 

If you look up the frame on fordparts.com for a crew cab long bed, it's the same PN for 250, 350 & 450.
I would image it would all bolt up if you transferred the spring hangers, etc frame-to-frame.

 

Interesting it fits 2017-2023 model years. Exact same frame for '23?

 

This is good advice. If you want an F450, easy enough to order one or find one used. Likely a cheaper, quicker, and easier way to arrive at your desired truck destination.
