there not rebuilt, add in a couple hundred to the purchase price and it will be good.

Also i see your future upgrade list...
Not trying to be a ahole or anything, but that 302 wont be to happy turning to big of tires... I would say atleast swap in a 351.... They share the same bellhousing... Heck a 408 would do you good, they are good for lots of torque...

I thought about swapping in a 351 but before I knew it my dad sold the F250 that had it. I was thinking gears and various performance up grades would be okay... For now... I can turn the 302 to a 342 at my friends shop.

shoot for $2000 you could buy you another truck instead of wasting time/money on a 44! AND you will get a rear end to match out of the deal!

Thats probaly the best idea, buy the whole truck rob what you want off of it and sell or scrap the rest.

Jmo, but that be too big of a PITA, he'd be better off starting with a a 460 truck for that.

that seems like a lot for a D44 no?

I just sold an 8 lug D44 I had for $150
It was a GM, but is there really that much difference in price?
i dunno, maybe there is...

That D60 in austin looks like a good deal

Heak, leave it at that!
Is this truck a daily driver? Why beat on a vehicle that has to get you to work everyday?
Buy another truck, and build it to suit. You can beat the snot out of it, and not have to worry whether or not you break it in half, cuz it wont matter.
Drag racers never race what they drive in a daily basis, and off-roaders should never beat on thier drivers. Buy a vehicle that can perform the task at hand and not worry about breaking a perfectly good daily driver.

I was able to find a D60 locally for 150!!!!!!!!!

I paid for it the same day I found it. now its waiting to be installed.

75F350- this truck is my daily driver, just for school though. I have a 03 FX4

BUT I rarely take her to school, theres alot of, lets just say gangsters, that like to mess with cars. I dont really worry when I take my 92 to school because the gagsters with their short bottoms touching their ankles cant go up my truck to do anything becasue their shorts may fall off trying.

I do take care of my truck.....more than other people
