Dueller - I know 67 to 72 rears are supposed to bolt right in to 48 to 52s. Are the spring perch measurements on the 76 the same or different? And is the wheel mounting surface (WMS) measurement close to original? Thanks. Stu
Let me edit this - obviously the WMS measurement won't be the same since it's a DRW application. So, I'll ask if the rear inners line up and clear the bed sides similar to original? Stu

The F-350 used a 34" frame up to 79 and 2.5" wide springs so the spring perches are almost perfect. It wouldn't fit under the F-1 due to the springs are too narrow. I see that you have 52 F-3 and if you wanted you could run duals but you would need to put 1 1/2" wider wheel tubs in the bed other wise it clears. Also it uses 3/16 brake line while the F-3 used 1/4. I found a T fitting at napa that had 3/16 fittings and also fit the stock rear brake hose but you have to be creative on mounting it. If you want some more pics look in my rear axle and windshield gallery. Also the hub to hub measurement is only 1" wider than the stock axle.
