76 F250 Specs Decoded

Was wondering if someone could help determine the specs on this pickup.
I did my best reading the tag.

Vin: F26YLB93179
Type/GVW: F260
Body:BB4
Trans/AXL: G24J
GVW: 6850
Color:A
WheelBase: 133

Now I think it's a 76 F250, 360 motor, Dana 44 Front / Dana 60 Rear, NP203 T/C, C6 Trans., Full time 4X4

Any Idea what this is worth? Box is junk, cab mounts are gone, Frame is average, motor runs and the pickup drives and shifts. 75,000 origional miles.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks,

The front axle looks like a Dana 44, would that dana 60 thats spec'd out refer to the rear axle?

It must be a NP203 T/Case? It's a full time 4x4.

On the D44 is it a hi pinion or low pinion?

I think it's a high pinion dana 44, however I'm not sure. I had a 79 with a Dana 60 and this looks different. The Dif cover bumps out for the ring gear. I was hoping someone could tell me for sure by the vin number.

I've got a 77 1/2 ton and the front axle's different on that too.

Remember many of these trucks have had parts "exchanged" over the years. Unless there is a lot of service paperwork that shows a continuous paper trail documenting mileage over time then that 75K showing on the speedo may be 175K or even 275K miles.
