dana 44 radius arm repair?

[dude772]

Ok, Im geting to the point where i need to start planning out my dana 44 swap. I've got the factory 77 f-150 radius arms, but the guy i got them from cut them with an oxy acetylene torch and left almost nothing.

They are cut just after the threads start. i was wondering if its possible to weld onto these arms a new threaded portion, or maybe buy the radius arm extentions and weld those on?

Are there any options i have to reuse these arms? or am i going to have to buy something new?

You could always look for another donor

ive thought of that, but every time i go to the wreckers the oldest f-150 ive ever seen was an 89.

I'm not sure about this, but what about bronco or F100 arms? I have no clue if they're the same, but I'm just throwin that out there
