Default Super 60 High Pinion Junkyard Find

Hey guys! I have been wanting a Dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear for some time, recently I have been doing more research on the two and zeroed in on the exact axles I'm looking for. A Dana Super 60 front axle 05+ and 14 bolt full float rear, I got out to the junkyard today and the 14 bolt was gutted with nothing left but the axle housing and one axle shaft. But I found what seems like a gem super 60!! It's out of a 05 F250, $380 I could be out the door with this thing and onto one hell of a winter project. I think I will build both axles and then build a triangulated 4-link front and rear to accommodate, my final vision for her has always been on 1-ton axles with about 38" tires, and she still drives well on the highway. That last point is one of the main reasons I chose against leaf springs front and rear. What do you guys think? Thoughts on the swap? Missing wheel hubs and brakes on both sides but other than that it looks good, pics and video below.

That's a beefy axle. Should stand up to a lot of abuse.
