At this point, 9" is preferrable. 67" WMS to WMS, 45" between spring perches.
If anyone finds a 60 or 70 for the right price i'll consider it, but if thats the case it needs to be one w/ a speedo sensor plug in it, i.e.: newer Ford vans or F450s.

Buy my 60. $75 o.b.o., delivery to CS available. 4.10, open, 67" WMS-WMS.
what year is it out of?
Doug
Yup, 30 spline 8-lug FF. It's from a '78-'79, not sure which. The brake drums spin freely, but look rough.
if i get a 60 or 70 i want it to at least have the sensor i need in the diff so the only problem i have to deal with is getting new wheels. it'll be put in the consideration box though andy. maybe sometime we can work out a trade for some leaf springs :D
How much would you pay for a 10.25 w/posi and abs?
Troy

I don't have it yet. It is on ebay with a front 60.

hmmmm.....how much are you wanting to pay for the 60? I am now looking for a 10.25" since i found out that they started making 4.88s for them and it comes w/ a speedo sensor, but considering gears and install kit for it are $430 from Randy's....i really dont want to spend very much on the axle. let me know what you decide.
I didn't look all that much when i was there this weekend but awesome auto salvage in Dallas has a bunch of rearends, and if you word it right, you might be able to obtain it for 30 bucks, and right downt he road at the u-pull-it, there were a bunch of vans, might be worth a weekend trip to big-d.
i would not get one from a van the axles are wider than the truck ones
On chevies it is the exact opposite wider on trucks and narrower on vans. For the most narrow you can get a dually axle...
tate and I went to Hwy 6 today, they want $200 for a 10.25"out of a `92 2wd F250. Also, we measured, the difference in the van axles is not that the axle housing itself is wider, but the spring perches are a good 4"+ farther apart than on the trucks.
Also called Randy's again, they make 4.88s for the 10.5" too...'bout the same price as they are for the 10.25"......$$$$.
I'm kinda thinkin' now that i'm just gonna leave the 8.8" in there for a while. I fixed the pinion leak, i guess all it was was a bad seal, although nothing was apparently wrong w/ it. Ring and Pinion seemed perfectly fine w/ no bad wear on any of the surfaces. I might as well save the $600-800 i would spend on it and possible save up for a beater.
