Ok I'm soon to do a d60 swap in my 86 and I have a d50 under it at the moment.ive got the stock f350 front springs and tie rods what else so I need and we're is a good cheep place to buy parts for it.it was 100 bucks for the ball joints at the parts store for the cheep ones.im sure I'll need something that I ain't got and would like to not spend a but load because I've got 2 other trucks that need stuff also.and will I need to shorten the drive shaft in the front end.thanks yall

If you have a ZF you need an f350 x member as it has a large droop for the front drive shaft due to increase in ride height. Same reason for double carda drive shaft.

As for T19 C6 or E4OD I personally couldnt say however I would imagine so.

Pitmam arm is longer for F350 so again this affects steering geometry.

Yer choice

You aksed I amswered

Check the write up in my signature. I worried all these details and put all the answers in the thread about my swap.
