Doesn't say. You should have looked at the metal tag on the driver's door, if it's still there.

But an 77 F250, very likely to have a Dana 60.

OK....I found the VIN decode section on the website and entered the info. I did get a 5300lbs. Dana 60 rear end with a 3:73 ratio.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-May-02 AT 01:26 PM (EST)]Okay, I'm curious Ole4d.

I have a direct link to a Data plate decoder on every one of my posts.

How is it you never went there to have a look?

I did this to make it REALLY EASY for people to just go there and see for themselves.
