hey guys...im new the site.....i have located a truck and it has some rearend problems....i talked to the guy on the phone and he told me that the pinion gear was broken....i was thinking about just buying a used rear from someone or a salvage yard...and was wondering if there was any other rearends (axle assembly) that would fit this truck other than one from a 94 f350?......any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated......thanks...JJ

 

rearends for that should be fairly plentiful. just need to find the make of it. it will be a dana 60 or an AAM 11.5 or whatever, at the local pull a part yards here they cost about $88 if u can haul it out. you just need to check what gears it has.

there should be quite a range of years that will fit since they used the same axles for a long time. the model number and gearing is what's important

 

thanks....i wasnt sure ....he was told that 88-96 would fit .....he said that he bought one from an 87 and it was 4" narrower than the 94... so he just returned it and got his money back

 

the narrower one might have been from a dually.

good luck in your hunt, usually a junkyard axle is cheaper than doing new gears
