If anyone knows where I can buy new or used spindles for the front end of a 1996 Ford F350 Crew Cab 7.3 Power-Stroke 4x4. Ford will sell me one for almost $500.00! Wow! Any ideas???

Help Please!

THANKS!

find one of the plentiful guys around here that have swaped out thier D50 ttb F250s to a dana 60 and buy one of thier old spindles, they will interchange with your D60, the flange is shaped ever so slightly different, but it will work with no modifications and issues. Should be cheap enough.

Thank you. I looked at Extreme Axle Sales and emailed for a confirmation on specs for my 96 F350 Crew Cab. Everyone was a real help!

That axle is a Dana/Spicer assembly. Any shop that specializes in drivetrains should be able to get them.

It might help to know where you are. Someone else may be in the same area and know of a local drivetrain specialty shop.

Well I bought from Doug at Extreme Axle Sales and got my parts (Dana 60 and all bearing sets and seals kit) in two days! Now the really big question. How long should it take and where can I get the best drawings and how to tips to install the spindle and bearings? I am renting a slide hammer and spindle removal tool to do the job, but would like the best, quickest and most of all best way to get the job done. Any help would be a heal life saver! (My wife will bust my chops if it takes to long) Thanks!
