1979 f250
I'm looking at buying a 79 F250 its got a 351m, np435, np205 transfer case, dana 60 rear, but I'm not 100% positive about the front axle. I do believe 79 250's only came with front and rear dana 60s, but someone told me the other day it might be a HD 8lug Dana 44. The axle has alot of grime build up so i cant look at the metal tag on it. Both axles have the same number of bolts holding the cover and both have drain plugs.
Help me out how could I be sure what it is? Did the 79 F250 indeed only come with front and rear 60's?
thanx

its most likely a 44 unless it has a snowplow package or its a ext cab?, you should be able to tell two ways, on the dana 44 the drag link coming from the pitman arm goes up under the steering arm, on a 60, the draglink goes on top of the steering arm, and also, look on the passenger side of the pumpkin and you should find a 44 stamped into the steel, or a 60, best of luck, hope ya got a 60 under there
