Hey guys, I found a 74 F250 4x4 with 60's front and rear. Drums all around. Closed knuckle. King pin.

So what are the axles worth and are they any good? I can likely get them for a really good deal.

About $250 for the front and $150 for the rear. A closed knuckle 60 isn't much more than a 44 with less ground clearence.

I beg to differ Dean, a closed knuckle 60 is much more than a Dana 44 with less ground clearence....



....about 100lbs more :flipoff2:

closed knuckle + drum brake = :rainbow:

from what I understand

front 60 has larger U joints then an open knuckle 44 but less truring radeus

closed knuckle 60 can handel a huge about of load

drum brakes = :rainbow: but can be converted

a rear 60 is a rear 60 but with 16 spline and 1.3' shafts (can be upgraded)
