All out OBS.
Found a few different axles kicking around to make it worth doing some more research on a solid axle swap. First off, I'm going to look for an 8-lug full float rear.. (might not go 8-lug during the swap, but down the road most likely)
What year of 14b FF will work? I'm assuming all 88-98 rear ends will work, but how about the 73-87s? Any other?
Now for the front end..
I'd LIKE to stick with a chevy axle, assuming I'd just be choosing between trucks from 73-87.. any years to stay away from, years to look for?
Is it worth it to go with the Ford front end? Just weighing options.. there are a few ford dana 44 fronts to choose from around here..
More aftermarket support for the ford axle?
I guess I'm just trying to determine what axle is going to cooperate with me nicely during this build. Heh.
I'd like to upgrade to 8-lug, but I can do that later down the road if necessary..
So either 73-87 Chevy D44/D60
Or 78/79 Ford D44
Or 90-92? Ford D60
If anyone has a preference or opinion on what axle to choose, please chime in
