F350 with TTB?

[Tony1784]

Does this guy just not realize that he has a 350 badged F250 or did a 1 ton actually come with a TTB front end?

He seems to know a bit... saying it's a rare find. but I don't know the guy, so his word doesn't mean much haha

Ya they did for 1 year, 1984 when it came out. They found it far to week for fleet trucks and went back to the solid Dana 60 so they could sell them. I Had one, it was a Dana 50 and the one on that truck ain't! It would have the same locking hubs as the Dana 60 and that one has the little hubs. It's not hard to swap one under a 1 ton but the only real difference between a 3/4 and 1 ton is the solid axle, so in essence that would make it a 3/4 ton. Even the spring count and lift blocks are the same on the regular cab 1ton as the 3/4.

The guy is right that it rides better but mine was a tire killer of the first order! Thats why I now have a Dana 60 under it.

Not to hijack- but it looks like you got yourself a mix and match PSD andy. Sounds like one sweet rig

Pile-o-parts I do love it! It's like my kid, it's a part of me. I have years of tinkering tied up in it, and know every inch of it. Thanks for the complement!
