I have an 87 F250 HD w/ a 460, t-18, NP 208, 10.25 rear, dana 50 ttb up front. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on swapping in a dana 60 live axle out of a similar year F 350. I've heard that the TTB is a pretty easy IFS to swap w/ a straight axle. In looking at the two trucks it pretty much looks like a direct bolt in, with the exception of having to fab a track bar. I didn't know if there would be anything unexpected to worry about. Anyone who's done this, or knows how to, advice would be much appreciated.
