2001 front dana 60 from dually f350
does anybody know if a 2001 f350 dually has a true dana 60 not the dana 50 or 55 that ford has been using on the 1999 and up superdutys?? also the dana 60's from dually's have a bigger or wider front hub assembly but can that be changed for a single real wheel f350 front width??? looking to swap dana 50 on my 2001 f350 to a true dana 60. thanks,

Larger ring and pinion, the axle shafts do not neck down to dana 44 size were it enters the carrier, it stays the size of the rest of the shaft, which means more splines. I dont rememember the exact measurements right now.

Dana 50, with 30 spline shafts at the carrier. IIRC you have a 8.5 inch ring gear, 26 spline, 1.376" pinion, and 30 spline 1.31" axle shafts (were it necks down into the carrier) VS a dana 60, which started around 2002 in the front of super duties, which has a 9.75" ring gear and i think 35 spline 1.5" shafts, the whole length, and a 1.625" pinion shaft

[QUOTE=rebelchevy02]Hold up a second haha. Superduty 60s, have a larger ring and pinion, and the axle shafts dont neck down were they go into the carrier. knuckles out are the same. The only way you can say it can handle bigger tires is in the carrier. They dont do any better at holding up in the wheel bearing department. The housings are near identical, which makes them hard to tell the difference. Im not sure were your getting two ring bearings on each side, they still have the sealed unit bearings. Now a dana 60 out of a 78, 79 f350 had kingpins, serviceable bearings at the hubs.
This is correct!
There is a difference in the housing if you know where to look.
