I might be able to get a front D60 from an 86 F350 with a 6.9. Actually I will have access to the whole truck so I can get everything from brakes, springs, steering, etc... Is this a bolt in swap for the most part on my 95 F250? I like the idea of a king pins instead of ball joints, is that the only difference?
Yes, just bolt it in. Brake lines may or may not have clearance issues but other than that just bolt it up make sure you use the 350 springs or go all out with an RSK and SD springs for a good ride.

teh brake lines do work with a kingpin unit , you jsut need to shave a bit off teh side of teh block to teh caliper.

They will bolt up if you do some mods..a RS kit or add SD shackels. Check the Tons of posts on the mods.
