Any dana 60 you wanna make fit. You should go ford if your keeping your transfer case, and want a high pinion, but you can do chevy/dodge if you dont mind low pinion and convert to a dana 300 with PSD.
The 78/9 F350 d60 is the most popular, but its balljoints and not kingpins. Some people use the 80's and 90's f350 stuff, but the diff is in various locations and can be hard to get the coils to fit.

Other way around - those are the most desireable kingpin models. After that the diff was offset even more towards the driver's side.

You might be right. I'm looking at a box that says "78-97 F350 4x4 balljoint kit", but when I type the part number into google just now, it says 80-97 everywhere its listed.

since your in cali, your looking prolly about 1100-1500 for a complete one that you would want to use. but not really complete since you would want to regear it and lock it. Not to mention convert the front to 35 spline with new slugs or hubs and outer shafts. So say you get lucky and find one for say 1100, your only getting usable housing, and outer parts with stock inner shafts.
Call performanceoffroadcenter and ask about the new solid axle housing with the 44 center and 60 outer parts. I was told 2 days ago that for 1300$ they (solid axle) are going to start selling a 44/60 hybred that is has thier high clearance 44 center and thier super strong bling inner C's and outer knuckles, along with a cover, and hubs and spindles. Not to mention its what ever WMS you want and not what ever you find. Only things your not getting that you would with the stocker thats usable for 1100 is inner axles and brake caliper mounts (100$), and maybe calipers and disc (150$ for both). If its true what they are saying (PORC) then the new bare housing is the way for most to start on a budget. just saying is all. Other wise if you want a custom WMS locked D60 HP your in to about 3K and up when all said and done. IMO of course.. and my experience over the last month or two.
