Why did Ford Not Offer this Option on Dentside Crew Cab Lowboys? 

If you are interested in the cool story behind this truck, head over to my main page!

I had a supercab 78 with a 60 front. Bone stock.

Lug nuts where an option also;)

The F350 had had a 60 in the front and 70 rear. F250 44front rear60

I would dearly love to own a 1970 Ford pickup.

Theyre ancient and still servicable by owners.. .big motor will never make THAT mistake again

I've got about 600 of these trucks in a field. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

Actually they did offer them as an add on but as for using the 44 is cause they used them in f150 and are fairly easy to convert to 8 lug plus the price the Dana 60 kingpin is an extremely expensive axle even back then and nowadays are outrageously expensive

Dodge did the Dana 70 / Dana 80 & sometimes can be Dana 60. But yah crazy

That is all I have left is a 79 Dana 44 complete with factory wheels.

I love those old Ford body stiles😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Missing some lug nuts

Burlington northern crews came with a "upgraded" dana 60.

Ive seen a 1977 crew cab with a dana 60 king pin low pinion disc with the big Spicer hubs.

It's because Chevy and Dodge already had the contracts and ford couldn't afFord it.

Not true, you could have a Dana 60 king pin front axle on 77.5 -79 crewcab. It was only available on the highest GVRW, or a snowplow prep package.

Does anyone know what the name of the front middle color is? I favorite truck, a 79 f100, two tone brown with idk what to call the yellowish color lol

Kermit was a crew cab

How about how super cab of that year had leaf spring 44 not coil spring

Do Fords come standard with grassy hubs or is that something thats done custom after the warranty is up?

3/4 tons only had those types of diffs. Heavy duty work trucks and the crew cabs were meant for construction workers or farmers

Dent side???? Style side dent side mudt be a southern thing

Did ford make a f350 4x4 crewcab in those years?

Wasn’t it ‘78 and 1/2 when they introduced the lowboy? I recall the ‘77s were all high in my area anyway.

I thought Dana 44 was F150 and Dana 60 was F250 and F350

At least you get the 8 lug outers, I have a half ton 78 supercab 4x4 trailer special. Not even a true half ton, everything underneath is a f250 except it has 5 lug outer on the Dana 44 and a 5 lug 9 inch rear, with a f350 frame. And it’s also a heavy duty trailer special to add to the confusion. So while being as capable as a one ton at the same time it’s just a half ton. Ford doesn’t make much sense is some aspects

Ford never offered it because Dana rears are from some other types of trucks? That's our idea!😂

Cost and weight

Well, The Dana 44, and the Dana 60, aren't really necessary. They're more of a, feel good purchase. Because, I have pictures of my grandfather using a 65 Ford moving houses. He moved to 10 of them, with that truck. That s*** was never necessary. It was just trendy. And it's trendy because, the marketing and advertising team, put themselves in charge of building trucks. Which is why you now have, nuts and bolts rotted right off from brand new vehicles. Oh, and now you have to take the whole cab off the truck..... So you can replace the valve cover gasket... So I don't know who's brilliant and genius idea it was, to put the marketing and advertising team, in charge of building trucks..... But we can see how phenomenally well that's working for them.

Is the truck in your video 4 Sale

The dana 60 would smash the oil pan on the lowboy Fords

Missing a few lug nuts there are ya??

You r missing some wheel nuts bro

Ford does very dum stuff

Matching body parts not available also?

That s hard truck to find. Been looking for over a year

Because of the leaf springs

Because ford has always lagged behind and was cheap
