I am a proud owner of this 72 f100 4x4. It has a 250ci motor, 4 speed tranny, and I know that the rear is a dana 60.
Does anyone know what type of trans this could be? I am planning on doing a 351 swap(from what I understand it is the same bolt pattern as the 250) and what the front axle is. Also if there is any mods you guys would do to make it a good daily driver.
Thanks in advance
Nathan

If you have a 6 cylinder, it is a 240 or 300. The rear is a Ford 9 inch, not a flanged semi-floating Dana 60 more than likely. The trans is a New Process NP-435 with a Dana 21 single speed transfer case. To find out all that you would like to know, send in the info on the warranty sticker that is on the cab pillar under the door striker.

To make it a good daily driver, keep the 240/300. The rpm range works real well for going around town. The simple mods like a 4bbl, intake, and exhaust will make a big difference.
If it's a Dana 60 out back, it'll say on the casting by the diff cover. Same with the Dana44 up front. They cast a little '44' or '60' into the housing. If it's a 9"(most likely), then it wont have a diff cover. It drops out from the front.

Thanks for all the replays. I will start a build thread once I get some room in my garage to drag it home.

This is the numbers on the door tag if you could decode it I would really appreciate it.
Also I am pretty sure the engine is not operational. Is it still worth saving or should I do a V-8 swap.
