Sold/Expired 78-79 Ford front 60 housing

Not to jack your thread but why 78-79 I just had a guy give me a 2001 Dana 60 front out of a F-250 just not sure why so desirable.

might be the spring pad width... the 78-79 is a direct bolt in for a YJ... plus the 78-79 has a longer short side thus more tube to work off of.
 
Exactly Mike and Thanks. I've lost count of how many I've had but need one for a yj. Have all the other stuff so just need a housing.

the problem is, the 78-79's bring a premium for some reason... thats why im gonna have to get by with a 79 f250 44... contraption is hooking me up. later when im feeling rich i can always swap to a 60. good luck with the hunt, if i find something, i will drop a line.

To bad I've got what he needs laying in the driveway but can't let it go right Potts :flipoff1:

>:( yeah me and him BOTH! GGRRR! GABE SUCKS! (i guess i can say that, he doesnt get on here... does he?) laughing1
 
I got one but it's got all the spring perches shaved off and a truss alright built for it but I haven't welded it on yet
 
Woodard, just the pass side perch removed or have you done something to the drivers also? Thanks.
 
They both have been shaved kinda wish I hadn't but a new can be welded on no big deal
