would a ttb pod(thrid) for a 81 3/4 ton fit in a 94 1/2

 

[maritime mudder]

I don't think so

the 81 is a Dana 50 (3/4 ton)

the 94 is a Dana 44 (1/2 ton)

I believe the spline count is different but I could be wrong

the 3/4 came with both dana 44 and dana 50
but with the to different year would the spline change or would there be a higher spline count with the 3/4ton
can get the 81 front end for 800 comes with 4:88 and a detroit

 

[maritime mudder]

if you can get the ENTIRE front then buy it. The whole thing will bolt tight in.

But for 800, why not so a SAS??

if you can get the ENTIRE front then buy it. The whole thing will bolt tight in.

Not if it's a D50. The pivot points are in different locations as the arms are different lengths from the 44.

If the '81 is a 44, the third should bolt up, but the inner shaft is almost surely the earlier style which bolts in to the side of the third rather than using an internal c-clip.

I think $800 is steep, that's just me

I have seen someone use a Dana 50 TTB in a 87-91 Bronco
in a older issue of Four Wheeler,
I think a solid Dana 60 or 44 is helluva stronger. I think you could find a Dana 60 for 200 more.

thats what i was going to say....if your gonna go through all the trouble to swap out the ttb's, then why not step up 2-300 more and slap a 60 under there and be done?

 

[pitter]

i don't want to change the ttb i only want to do the thrid i'm going to offer him 650 and the 3/4 is a dana 44

It was my understanding that the D50 TTB shafts were a direct fit into the 44. Either way, a 50 is barely if any stronger than a 44. Its shafts are tapered at the inside to the same diameter as a 44.

MY friend is posting this under my name....


the reason for this swap is because he has 3:55 gears and 35's. this is slow as fawk. now he needs gears and bad, the d44 third has 4:88's and a detroit locker. this would be a cheap and easy way to get gears up front. also the 800 is canadian. and a sas is out of the question untill he is out of school. this third will bolt up to his housing.....? and would the axle shafts be worth gettin for spares or will they not fit?

sorry im a yota guy that doesn;t know to much ford stuff. thanx for the replies.

The 50 will fit right in the 44 housing, but there is a very good chance the 81 has the 44 anyway, as long as it has a gvw of around 7000 or so.

 

[pitter]

the 81 3/4 ton has the dana 44

 

[2002 FX4 Ranger]

I thought they went to TTB in 82???

Wouldnt 81 be SFA??? or did they switch in 80?

 

[pitter]

in 1980 they all went to ttb but i think in 86 the f350 when back to the dana 60 don't know might be wrong about the 1 ton thing

 

[Dustin Smith]

That is correct, actually 85 1/2, i think.
