the 60's in my 78 snow fighter are 3:54's, definitly snag that truck, the axels are worth a pretty penny if they arent tore up.as far as the cab goes, it can be replaced.

ahhhh, thanks for that little tidbit, i was kinda thinking that might be how it happens, but now i know. im rather excited about it....other then the fact that i gotta buy different wheels again. But man...tough diffs, and if im lucky, a bit better gear ratio will make it ten times worth it

i don't remember seeing you say what year CC it was. this makes a bit of a difference on which d60 your going to be getting. the 78/79 high pinion d60 is the best, but the early ones are a low pinion and aren't as strong. either way, it's a rare truck and you should snag it up.

highboy1975....you ARE right, i never specified what year, as im not 100% sure. I know its the older grill style (73-77) but thats all i know as of now. I hope its not a low pinion...but i guess thats what'll it will turn out to be. Im going to drive up there again today, and tromp through the snow to have another look at it. I know its a 60 for sure, its a huge pumpkin, has 4 bolds holding the king pin grease plate on with a nipple on the top, and it has the biggest ugliest hubs from hell, and i coulda swore i saw drum brakes...

welp, all my excitement is all out the window now. I had to go back up there today to ease my mind, and it is a low pinion divorced tcase POS. So all my hopes of having a tough wheelin f150 for cheep is all out the window. basically the only diff that are worth hunting for, are the 78-79 then, correct? What about this later stuff, like mid 80's/90's...are they all low pinion too? Ah well, I thank you guys for all your input and knoledge, much appreciated
