front axle ?.
I am tired of breaking front axles on my dana 44, ? is there a way to put a dana 60 under my bogger? My bogger is a 78 f150 with a 85 bII body on the frame, the front part of the frame is bobbed off. Can I use the spring perches and radius arms off the 44 axle and adapt to the 60 axle? Any thoughts and ideals would be helpful. thanks Billy.

there is always a way 
a lot of people have put coil buckets on the D60, i have never done it but from what i have heard it is very easy. you might be better off building your own radius arms and front suspension!

You could go with the new bling 35spl shafts and ctms instead 
, but that might just a bit pricey.
But you can buy the buckets new through one of the lift companies i believe (and jeff's bronco graveyard to i believe), skyjacker comes to mind.

Fo shizzle. Why not do a 4 link or 5 link front suspension with coil springs? It won't be much more work than building custom radius arms and it will perform a hell of a lot better. You can build your own spring buckeys with some 4" pipe. Check your steel scrap yards.
