Thanks, y'all....much obliged.
yeah...we went and looked @ the red one in SA this weekend. Its really pretty nice. New paint and body is solid, i couldnt find any bondo. It has a 360 w/ about 15K on a rebuild, either T18 or NP435, and either Dana20 or NP205 (i'm still not positive on how to tell the difference in all these b.c. i've been told a few different things). It has some minor electrical issues that need to be worked out and will be before sale. It has power brakes but no power steering which REALLY blows considering it has 35"s. the lady said it will also be added before she sells it, she's got all the stuff just needs the mechanics time for it. It has a 9" and a high pinion, drum brake Dana 44 front (i've been told that many dont believe that this exists, but i'll vouch for it). Lift in the rear is provided by a 2" block stacked on top of a 4" block. One very minor spot on the body is rusted and it needs a spray in bedliner. Another issue discussed in another thread is the fuel tank, not much there, but like Krabs said, it felt like a tank driving it. Asking price was $3950, but seeing as how the lady was class of `84, Aggie price is $2800. :D
does it have a divorced transfercase?
no divorced t-case, just an 8-10" adapter between the transmission and t-case. it is a longbed though and has a two piece driveshaft.
according to www.venturesparts.com it has a NP205 xfer case. thats a pretty cool website, y'all should check it out. they've got A LOT of axles and such.
That high pinion drum brake axle also has 260x u-joints. High pinion started in 66. 297x in 73. Disks in 76. I'd get a link to a good site about those ford axles but POR is not working.
i did notice that i thought they were quite a bit smaller, needed to be replaced either way.
Here's the link. http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/web_rs44.html
thought this was worth sharing, even if it is in Fla.
`77 F250 Highboy
A guy I work with is selling a 1974 1/2 ton, swb, ford. He said it has a np205, 9 inch in rear, and a posible dana 60 up front (not sure), 4 speed trans needs a new MOTOR
wants $500
Dont have his number on me but I will post it if any one needs it
If it's a half ton, it's got a 44 up front. D60s were never paired with 9"s.
I know they did not pair them that way from the factory,
but as old as this thing is and with all the owners it's had, it may be posible. This guy is going off of what he was told
its just VERY not likely b.c. as far as i know i've never seen an 8 lug 9", nor a 5 lug 60. :cool:
Thanks Austin. It would take a lot of work to make the bolt patterns match. Highly unlikely.
Didn't the mid-70's Fords have closed knuckle 44s anyway?
not all of 'em...they still had open knuckle, but drum brakes. the drum brake 44s use a smaller u-joint than a 297. thats what the `76 kate and I looked @ had.
