dodge 350 1 ton - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I went and looked at an 85 350 custom prospector, I thought the 350 was a 1 ton front? I got under there and it was a D44? The rear was a d60 FF. The guy was pissed, thought he might have a sale and I spend 30 seconds under his truck and say no thanks

Guess I'll keep looking.

The 350's are 1 tons maybe he took the axles for another project and swapped in some 3/4 ton axles.

whats wrong with the d44?

For some reason, a Dana 44 in the front of some early '80's Dodge 1 tons is common. They usually have a 208 t-case too, not the 205 the 1-tons were supposed to have.

This had a 208 as well...I guess there is no way to tell without crawlin' under and checking them out.

As for the d44 it was alright for the small block but 440 4:1 and 456 axles makes d44 a little unrealistic. I started with 6

spare 44 axles. I only have 3 left

time for a 60.
