6 lug Ford?

Hi,

I'm trying to identify what kind of chassis I have.

It's a pretty straight frame and doesn't "dip" down until about where a cab would mount.

It has a kind of wide-ish 6 lug bolt pattern for the wheels...which are 17.5 inch steel. Leaf springs front and rear.

The rearend is full floating..ala 3/4 ton or 1-ton, but single wheels in the rear, not duals.

The pumpkin resembles a DANA 44, but larger...it does have 10 bolts holding the rear cover on.

Does this sound like a Ford setup? If so, what years might it be from?

Thanks.

You have a Dana 60. A pretty much bullet proof axle with it's 9 3/4 ring gear. Even stronger than a 9". You can get any gear ratio you want from 2.xx to 5.xx (x meaning numbers).

Thanks for the reply.

Any idea of the year range it may be?

Thanks again.

I know for sure they were used from '56 and up on the F-350. They may have been used on 53-56 F-350's. Sounds like you have a F-350 since the frames don't have a frame arch over the rear axle.
