building f-450 4x4, I have questions

[6.9l ford]

I have a f-350 4x4 solid axle Dana 60, what if any special parts do I need to a f-450 10 lug conversion.

I guess two more studs per side would be a start....*****

Go to the parts books on that one. Is it even possible to mount up a 10 lug hub on an 8 lug axle? Where would you get them?
The number of 10 lug trucks I've seen are mighty few.

I have a F450 , 10 lug 2 wd truck... Based on what I see on the rear axle I'm thinking a 450 front would be way heavier than a 350 Dana 60, but somebody set me straight on that.

Yea, haven't you ever seen an 8 lug truck with 22.5 semi wheels and tires on it? They make adapters.

A differant complete rear end plus a straight axle up front complete. Your going to need the leaf spring purchases for the front too. Then you have disc brakes all the way around. Down side it a stiffer ride from the heavy straight axle and really terrible differancial gears. I think 4.56 is the lowest and 5.13 is the standard gear set. Lot of work for not much advantage in my opinnion. The disc brakes are much biggers and so are the rotors.

from what I can tell from the ****** pics, this is a Marmon-herrington product that started out it's life as a D60 axle housing with the special F450 designed and built knuckles and hubs M-H produces.
