Dana60, 3/4ton swap, t18/19,

[Dangerranger390]

My set up so far is a 302 out of a crown Vic a t18 or t19 tranny and a m205 tcase and a danna 44 front axels with a dana 60 both 3/4 ton axles I need to know what year truck or car I can get a bell housing for the tranny and will I have to replace the steering column and if so out of a what? The axles and tranny and tcase came out of a 79 ranger 250 I believe it the bell housing wouldn't work cause it was too big. Other than shortening the axels what might I have to do? Thanks

I'm doubting that 250 had a straight 6, 302 or 351w so that bellhousing wont work. There are bellhousings out there you have to search around. Try the junkyards, local trans shops, classified as and such they are laying around. As far as the axles you can narrow them if you desire which will take some work, not a beginner project though. Good chance you will need custom shafts too, I doubt those can be resplined. Or just leave them full width. The stock steering column will work fine. Use the search and check around; engine and axle swaps are done pretty commonly anymore and most and combinations has been done at some point. Search for for the setup you have and you should find quite a few tips to get you going.
