Ford to Chevy Axles
« on: April 06, 2013, 11:24:21 am »
Will Dana 44 front and Dana 60 (4.10 gears) from a 1976 F250 bolt right up to my 1986 K10?  Any major PIA issues I would have or we're these axles all the same for each manufacturer? 

Thanks fellas.

Gobs of M1008 D60/14-bolt take outs out there.
