Alright here is my little problem. I have the option of buying a 79 ford f350
60s f/r w/3.54 gears for like 1500. Or I have the option of getting a hp44 and 60 out of a f250 with 4.10s for 300. I know the logical thing to do is to jump on the 60s but I dont have the tools or the cash flow to put new gears in the 60s. My thoughts are I can still do the work that needs to be done to my rig with the hp44 and 60 rear, and go wheeling for a while until I happen upon a hp60 w/ 4.10s to match the rear I will already have. I am trying to stay budget friendly and go wheeling at the same time. I have 35s right now and stripped out my r+p in my hp30 that is in my jeep now I would like to run a 38 to a 42 eventually and have started to stretch the jeep frnt and rear with xj springs. It just seems like a lot of cash for the gear install and price of gear,lockers,etc. What size tire are the max for the hp44 and whats the max for the hp60s. I dont have a lead foot when it come to wheeling things just like to break on me alot. Thxs Tim
