    True mid year 85 they got the d60 but I've also seen early 85s with D60s. I've also seen a 92 F-350 one owner with a d50 ttb do go figure. Mistake I would hold out for a Chevy since you know them better I'm the opposite I know fords more than Chevys

    Ok I'm seeing some red flags in ad. 1 It should have a D60 not s D50 2 it should have a Sterling rear axle not a D70 If the front axle is a d60 straight don't tell the seller he might up his price.

    Be sure to check out the FAQ also. Blown heads are common for turboed IDIs. Head gaskets are fairly simple to do you would want studs while you have the heads off. You can keep the driveshafts. I'm not a die hard Chevy or ford guy. I own both and I beat on both they just going and going.
