E250 vs F250 rear spring pad difference.

Will a Dana 60 from a 79 E250 swap into a 79 F250 without modification?

Probably not. I'm pretty sure all the Vans had widder sping pad mounting distance due to the high center of gravity (helps control roll). When I swapped the mid 80's Van rear end into my '78, I had to move the mounts in something like 3.5" each side.

alright good to know. I have a guy who will give me the D60 if I take it out. Its a very good deal and Im not going to pass it up, especially since I have a tote torch, but I was hoping it would swap in. Are the axle shafts the same length?

They could be. There are various lenghts of shafts throughout the years. For a similar year axle from a similar year/model vehicle, the axleshafts should be the same length and spline count.
