What axles came under the 3/4 ton 4x4? are they d44 or d60's?

44's in the front, 60's in the back(unless they had a Eaton HO52).

my friend said he was getting a 3/4 ton this week so he could take the axles for his 71, I asked why go 3/4 and not 1ton and he said because they were 60's in the front. I was unsure so I didnt want to question him.

They could have been changed out at some point. So they could be anything.

Like OldChevy said, probly been swapped at one point. A 60 front is a bolt in for these trucks, so not like it's hard. Ford and Dodge were the only trucks to get a 60 up front being a 3/4 ton.

Dodge and Ford got D44s up front as well in the 3/4ton line.
