I've decided to get the best out my little ranger I'm going to need a new rear axle. It's a 4 banger and lacks power but after doing some research here I've found that my tire size and gearing doesn't line up. I just bought new tires while I was restoring the truck so I've decided to start checking my local scrap yards for a rear axle. the tires are 29 inches and thanks to some handy charts here the 4.10 gearing is what i'm after. I'd also love the get a limited slip diff as well so I'm looking for the F7 rear axle. If that's too rare I may settle for any F-series axle and redo the gears to get the 4.10. I'm just looking for input or experience people have with axle hunting. Or some glaring error I've made in my choice of axle. For those of you who frequent junk yards is the F7 reasonably common or am I looking for a needle in a junk-stack?
