Nail pounder what power plant are you running in yours?
So if I did the 8.8 ford it seems they have disk brakes on the years suggested above the 96-01 so if I upgraded my master cylinder I could keep those? that would be a nice upgrade. Have to convince my husband he's one of those silly fix or repair daily negative Ford guys but this is my dad's and my truck and we are a love of all trucks family haha
Thanks again I appreciate it
For clarification my mechanic said I'm looking for a 60" rear but in the specs it says my 57 is a 62......what width wiggle room do I have for keeping this easier to install as I search for options around here

I have a 350 and 700R4 with stock rear. I am/was in a similar situation as you. I want a good daily driver, not a street rod and I'm on a budget. Mine does great on the freeway with overdrive trans, and is still quick off the line. I may upgrade the rear end in the future but I did the motor swap a year ago see no need for a rear end at this time. I changed the diff fluid a couple times and now it's quiet and smooth.
