Will a 79 ford broncos dana 60 fit on my 97 f250? and is it even worth swapping to a straight axle?

All the guys i know Love there striat Axels.. i know I love my D60.. As fare as a 79 fitting a 97 I do not think it would. Is it a 4x4 axel or is it a rear axel??

Check out this link..My D60 swap with '97 ball-jointed axle - PowerStrokeArmy

Hope this helps!!!

the actual diff housing and axle tubes are slightly different. mounting brackets, lengths, etc..... it can be done, but with some work......

you might be better off finding one out of another 92-97 truck
