Can anyone tell me what a 1978 F250 has for axles, and if anyone knows what the trans is, im looking to swap them into an 89yj. If they are what I am looking for.

usually a front driverside highpinion leaf sprung dana 44, the snowfighter package changed it to a RC high pinion 60, all of them have rear 60's

Well.............




is it manual or auto?????????

Auto is most likely a C6.

Manual could be a T-18 or NP435.

Olny you can make the call as if they are what your looking for. With no info like tire size, what your using it for, it's impossiable to suggest.

well I will have a look for the bom, but I was jsut trying to find out wha that year and model truck had, I have a 4banger 89yj, it is stock right now a major POS, it is a projec jeep, SO im not worried about how it rides on the road, Im hoping to drop in a 305 small block, and run 35" tires, maybe 38" once i go SOA.

I plan on putting on the 4.5 RE HD lift kit for the time being with a 1" BL, maybe cut out the wheel wells, and squeeze those 35's under there.
