What I am wondering is, if I already got the 60 is there enough difference (strength) between the D60FF and 14FF to make it worth the trouble to find someone to work a trade or sell the 60 to buy a 14?
Lookin to pick up a parts truck ('79 F250) this weekend, and soon join the "I got a 60 up front" club. Its got D60's front and rear, and a 205 so I will have almost all the major parts (got my 203) for my doubler. Can't pass it up for $800, keep axles and T-case, part the rest, and might break even. If that happens I'll order the kit and be set except for shafts, and I can cut the furd shafts on a buddies lathe and lengthen/shorten as needed for now.
Not too worried about gears, they will need changed anyway, lowest Ford used from what I can find is 4.10's.
+ for the 14
The 14 is actually fairly common with 4.56's like I want, and I could always weld it and run it.
+ for the 60
more lockers, I'll already have it (as long as this deal goes thru)
Opinions ?????
Thanks,
Jim
