Let me vent!!!
I found a truck listed on craigs list: "Ford 1 ton axles, 44 front, 60 rear, 4:10 gears with locker in the rear." I called the guy and he said it was a 1978 F350. A little strange that a 1978 F350 would have a 44 front & 60 rear, but it sounded interesting enough to check out.
I drove 1 hr to look at it....................before I could get it out of my mouth my wife looked at the guy and said, "thats not a 78 ford!" It was a 1986 ford f350 4wd. Iam not sure what the guy was more embarrassed about: that my wife knows more about trucks than him, or that he didn't know what the hell he had.

easy way to prevent that...ask for pictures.
Good point
Shoulda been a red flag automatically that it was a "78" 350 4by.
True
Hysterical that your wife upstaged the poor guy.[/quote]
WVA girl.....knows her trucks!

I flagged his posting! It looks like he re posted today and added the year of the truck since my wife corrected him. Ford F350 Axles.

There is still a problem with that.
The D60F was used under that year F350 truck.
The D44 solid axle was no longer available, and evolved into the TTB44.
1200 bucks for any of that is way too much.
Front Dana 44's are not that expensive by themselves, and a rear 60 (provided that is what it really is) is not worth much over 100 bucks. (even with a locker, I mean really, how much is a 30 spline locker worth?)
Might appear as though someone snagged the 60 out of the front and stuck a low dollar 44 in it, in order to re-sell the truck.
