1997 D35 help

Well guys, my issue is that I don't have one. I have been trying to find a front diff for months with no luck. I have a 5.0 conversion and it's running and driving fine, but I can't seem to find a front diff (3.73) anywhere. Basically, I need everything 4x4 related from the front driveshaft forward. I'm planning on getting the Warn manual hubs from here, and I can find the axle shafts online, but if anyone has a lead on a front diff and stuff, I would really appreciate it. I would also be open to using a diff with a 4.10 ratio if there's an 8.8" 4.10 to go with it.

Thanks in advance!

Run the smaller front diff you have. I bet you never break it.

Same thing happened with the bigger f250 trucks. Everyone with the TTB thought they had to have a dana 60 frontend. Prices went up accordingly. I had a original dana 44hd ttb frontend on my diesel, plowed snow with it for years, and it never broke. I did have to replace the balljoints once, but it never gave me a problem.

to bad its not similar enough to a jeep to use the d30 from a jeep. 3.73 and 4.10 are common on those

Mines a factory Dana35 truck, front diff was already out when I got it. I don't want to drop to the smaller one because I'm planning on adding boost to the 5.0.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to drive across the entire country as I'm in school taking summer courses as well. If you're able to ship it I would love to take it off your hands.
