What is a good price for a F-250 used front axle?

[225]

I am looking for a front axle to start my conversion. Some of the deals on fleabay are around $600 shipped in ok condition. The axle will be gone through anyway.

But I think there is a place near my camp that is selling them for $400-500. Not sure.

What is a decent price for a used axle? I just don't want to overpay for a axle that I will be rebuilding anyway.

Thanks,

James

I've bought them for $250, I've bought them for $1000. I would say a good price is 6-800 for a complete core.

I would get a Dana 60. Some F250s came with the Dana 50, which has a Dana 44 gear set... My brother has a F250 with the 7.3 liter, and blew his front axle out by just hitting the brakes, while idling the truck in gear, when stuck in a snowbank... He got a D60 installed for $600. I paid $800 for my D60, which I could have got cheaper if I shopped around. $600 shipped is a good price, imo.

If you find the good 1979 vintage then 1500 bucks is the price.

Shop around and do not be afraid to haggle on the price as these are not rare parts. I just bought a front and rear (Dana 60 and 10.5 with 4.30 gears) for $600 from a yard. $400 to $500 for a front axle (Dana 60) should be very doable with a bit of effort.

That's a pretty good deal. If I lived closer I would jump on it. I'm just 2500 miles away.

I found a great place near me that sells some good stuff. The same place I found my F150 seats.
