Knocking in rear end.
My 79 F250, has developed a knock in the rear end. When turning left only, and only once. Feels like there is a small bind, then a small dull shutter through the truck, it just started. I had a problem once when the roll pin that holds the spider gears pin walked out and at random times the big pin would walk and bang around, it was bandaged and prayers were said. I wonder something is finally giving up? It is my daily driver and I am trying to find the time.
Am I correct in saying that I have a Dana 60 4:10's? I pull a 24' enclosed car trailer with the truck and if I have to change or replace anything I'd like to put in the best combination I can. Any ideas. Anyone in New England tripping over one in case I have to replace anything?
Thanks Chris

22 = 1979 F250 / Dana 61 / 3.07-1 / non Limited Slip / 5300 lb. Rear Axle Capacity
V - 3850 lb. Front Axle Capacity / Adjustable Column with Power Steering
While Dana 61's were offered from 1973, they are uncommon, and not nearly as popular as the Dana 60.

That sounds like the same problem that I just went through with my 2006 E-350. The vehicle would kinda chug-vibrate when turning at low speeds and had a faint clunking sound from the rear end. It ended up being a clearance problem with the spider gears. You probably have a spider gear starting to fail.
