You really want one from a 78-79 but expect to pay $1000 plus. Later model ball joint 60s can be had for less ($800 or so) but much more is required to fab up spring mounts.
Chevy is a no no because the pumpkin is on the wrong side of the axle

well fabrication is no problem, being that i was previously a welder and now am a machinist, so basically any d60 from a ford will work it just depends on how much it will take to do it? correct?

Aint nuthin wrong with a balljoint 60, if properly maintained. Ditto however on the 78-79 for your rig.

If you are finding 86-97 balljoint and kingpin D60s for $300, I highly suggest you snap every one of them up and resell them. You will make at least $5-600 in profit. OR if that does not suit your fancy, tell me where they are, and I will make the money. Buy them at $300, sell for at least $900(don't sell them too cheap) make your money for the correct axle in two sales.
