This is a Solid Axle Swap (SAS) for 1980 -1985 F350s, and 1980-1997 F250s.

Removing The TTB:

Support truck by frame

Remove brake calipers from knuckles and wire to frame out of the way

Unbolt front drive shaft from axle

Unbolt drag link from pitman arm

Unbolt TTB from leaf springs

Unbolt pivot brackets from frame

Dispose of TTB.

Installing The Solid Front Dana 60 Axle:

Install trac bar bracket on frame, 3 bolts

Slide axle under truck, bolt up to leaf springs

Drive your now solid axle truck

Note.... I also swapped my hubs/rotors from my TTB over to my D60.
