I suggest looking at prices of F-Superduty's on eBay. They use a special rear axle and you're going to have a hard time finding a replacement unless you're going to rebuild it. What I'm saying is you "may" pay more to fix that truck than it would cost to buy a running one.

I have been thinking about the rearend. I have another prospect a 94 F-450 Cab & Chasis with the Turbo diesel 5 spd.I'll be pulling the dump bed off my 90 f-350 and installing on the newer truck.Still how does the Turbo diesel perform?
