Check out Richmond Gear. You'll just need to know what rear end you have. Most likely the Spicer 60. They have a 6.17 gear set.

For Rockwell parts, you might have to go with MotiveGear.

Hi Old Blue-1960, I'm new to fte and in the same situation as you were in 2006. I'm looking for a higher r+p for my 5.83 equipped rockwell b140. did you ever find a source? I'm open to new or used parts. Thanks, Lumbar Wagon

Welcome to the forum Lumbar Wagon. One thing to know is between 2006 and today the forum has split. Originally this forum was 48-60 Ford trucks. In the last few years there was enough activity to create separate 48-56 and 57-60 forums. You probably want to post on the 57-60 forum too.

I suspect the axle under the 60 is similar to older axles under F-4 Ford trucks. The F-4 trucks are the most likely source for 5.14 gears. Please proceed carefully if you go with this idea since I do not know if they are indeed interchangeable.
