Does anyone know if a 3/4 4X4 front axle will fit into a 1 ton 2WD (F-350)truck ?? Thanks

I am not sure if the axle will fit. But the problem is you have to run the same gears in the front and rear. Your 1 ton axle is more thank likely a different ratio.

It depends on what year the donor vehicle is and what year the recipient vehicle is. Can you be more specific?

Does the 3/4 ton donor have a solid front axle or an IFS? The 3/4 and 1 ton frames of like years are pretty much the same I think including the bolt holes for locating various suspension components. You need to crawl up under both vehicles with a tape measure and start measuring.
