I got the first one with my E.B. swap. By far the easiest. With an E.B. as a donor it is almost a bolt in. I don't have pics of the swap but, The truck is on my photobucket, sub-album "Deranged mudder".
I would love to try a set of portals (unimog) but, I have never seen a set in person, Much less had an opportunity to buy them.

Full Width D44 from an 77 F150

I've got an EBD44, and am still workin on swapping it in. It's gonna have crossover high steer running OTT style arms, with 1.75'' DOM tie rod's and Chevy 1 ton TRE's. Gears are Yukon 4.56's, still waiting for some shafts, and front is open for now, goin with an ox locker when I can afford it.

And the current sad state of affairs....both front and rear axles are now lyin in my DD awaiting rebuild, and the shop's a lil cleaner thanks to my dad... I'll have to grab some new pics of my 5.5" chevy leafs when I get a chance. Anyone need a detroit locked 28 spline 8.8?

No pics, but I've had a full width HP D44 out of a 74 F100 for about 2 yrs now. Converted to discs using Ford outers and running 4.88 gears and a Lockright.

IMO, full width or a Waggy D44 is the way to go.

 

[chico4554]

yea i think the next time i do this, it will be a full width 44. I got this axle kinda out of the blue, and once i ve done it, a fullsize isnt much harder. Im looking for a ranger that has a lift already so i dont have to deal with rivets haha. Ive also considered a fx4 level II with the waggy front, but that would be pricey right now. But man what a daily driver/weekend warrior!!

I could only vote once but i have done dana 60 with a 14bolt and 2.5 ton rockwells and probably fixing to go 5 ton if everything works out .

[BLOODBANE]

Not done yet but I have the HP44 and 9" out of a 79 Bronco. Will go under the Ranger when I get the 302 lined out(pin holes in the cylinders of the new .060 engine, so I think I will stroke the 69 block I still have, use my "68 heads)
