Some help from you knowledgeable guys would be great. Locally there is a rear axle for sale that has the gear ratio I would like. I was looking for a sterling, but ran across this Dana 80 that the owner says came from an F-350('88) and has factory disk brakes.
A couple of questions:
1. Was there ever such a beast?
2. Will it fit my dually?
It seems to me that it may be out of a cab and chassis (C&C)- so i measured my C&C truck ('85). The spring perches are wider than my dually, but the overall width is about the same.
I know that the only way to know for sure is to go look at it- tried getting the owner to take some measurements but it proved too difficult for him.
Getting the gears and disks in one shot seems like a good deal, but I also have to wonder if these had parking brakes??
