Need axle help
My plans are to install a dually D60 front axle and a dually D70HD rear. My main questions are what years of D60's will work since I've heard and read somewhere in the 80's the front spring perch center holes were something like 37" apart and I need the narrower perches. My other question is what do I find the D70HD rear out of? I've got a GM D70HD in my garage but want to keep the F250 pure Ford. I want the HD rear for the 4" tubes for strength.
I'm planning to install a flatbed since the truck is missing the bed and taking out the divorced 203 t-case and install a 205. Later plans call for a rebuilt 460 with L&L Products brackets, headers, etc., etc.
Any help you guys can generate to me will be greatly appreciated. My field of expertise is mainly GM vehicles but I have a soft spot in my heart for the Highboys and the '78 & '79 F150 4x4's.
I look forward to chatting with everybody here.
I don't want to use the GM D70HD as I may have plans for that later for my '85 K30.
I posted a thread in the axle, tranny forum and will be checking it out now. Thanks for the reply again!
