Any guesses what Ford put in the '86 F350 cab & chassis 4x4 for a front axle? Built 11/85, dana 60 or 70 I'm guessing......need to get a gasket, truck is bone stock 4 spd.

Definitely suggest replacing female plug style with a new male. Available at most any hardware store, Lowe's, home Depot, etc.
