I have an opportunity to get a set of axles out of a 2003 F-350 super duty 6.0 diesel from a friend for cheap ($400 or less for both). So that would include a front high pinion, ball joint, unit bearing, 8x170 metric pattern dana 60 and a rear sterling 10.5 with discs and matching 8x170 metric pattern. I know there are a number of things that aren't so desirable about these axles like the ball joint, unit bearing, bolt pattern, and lack of aftermarket parts. However, it seems like there is enough of an offering in parts that they aren't junk axles especially for the money. Should I grab these or wait for something else...like a 14 bolt FF rear and earlier ford kingpin D60?
What do you guys think?
