f350 questions
Howdy guys. So I've got an 89 F350 460/ZF standard cab/long bed that seems to be some type of an anomaly. The VIN does decode to an F350, but it's got a D50 TTB in the front. Didn't all F350's have D60's? My next issue is that the front is sagging BADLY, and the alignment is all kinds of out of whack because of it. It's at least 3 inches lower than the rear (which is a 3.55 gear 10.5" sterling with overload springs, looks like full on 1 ton stuff). Did ford put a TTB in 1 tons? If they did, does it have 3/4 ton front springs? I've ordered up a skyjacker front add-a-leafs and camber adjustment cams to even it back out, but now I'm wondering if someone jammed the TTB in this in leiu of a D60 at some point, and now the springs are trying to hold up way more torsion than they were designed for. thanks for the help so far. You've been a bit help to this

all F350's came with a D-60.
you could either have a F350 that someone put a D-50 into after they blew the D-60,
or you could have a F-250 that had the cab rot off of it, and it was replaced with a F350 cab and fender tags.

Sounds as thought someone swapped their D50 for your D60. You may have the F350 springs still in the truck but i hope not. The D60 (f350) springs are not up to the task of controlling the D50

I think it may actually. I crawled up under there today, and it looks like the axle supports are recently attached, so that could explain the weird caddy-wompous low suspension. Guess I'll order up some f250 springs and run it (cheaper than finding a d60)
