need info on my summer project
currently i have a 86 f150 witch i have replaced or motified everything but the frame and axels. Now both the frame and axels are going on me.
SO my new project is to get a f250 or 350 frame, and a set of axels and swap it over. Im planing on a 6 inch lift and 35's, and it to be my daily driver. What axels should i get, and WHAT can i get them from? and what should i look out for. I stoped at my local junkyard and got a rough est. of 1200 for frame and two axels. dose this sound like a good deal? also what should i do to the junkyard axels to make sure they wont blow on me in a week?

For the front, D60 would guarantee that. D70, 14b, or 10.25 for the rear would be good for the rear.
You can do better than 1200. You can get running trucks from people who dont know what they have for $500...
