Ok, for the past year I've been doing an axle swap with limited funds, scrap metal and a lot of learning along the way! I kept breaking my rear driveshaft with 30'' tires so I decided it wasn't big enough to tackle what the Northwest has to offer. I went with a HP44 up front from a 1978 F-250 and the Dana 60 from the same truck. 4.10 gears and 36's seemed to be a wise choice since I had the tires laying around already.
These first 4 pictures are when I brought it home. I bought it for $300 with 89K on it! P.O. had swapped a manual tranny in place of the auto and hadn't got a front driveshaft yet nor could he get it to engage in 4 (touch drive) Got it home, played with some wires and got it in 4, junkyard shaft and it was on it's way!
