Its good to see more progress.

How did you attach your lower arms mounts to the frame?
 
totally forgot about this build...
 
Is that a waggy 44 with ford outers?

Sort of. Its a Waggy 44 with Chevy flat top knuckles, Chevy small bearing spindles, ford bearings, rotors and hubs, Stub shafts are from the waggy as well as the brakes. This crazy contraption of parts gets me good flat top knuckles and 5x5.5 pattern to match my 9"

Thats the combo I dream about at night. Front WMS still 62"? I'd love to have this and toss some adapters. on my explorer axle. Whats your 9"s WMS?
 
Only thing I don't like about the waggy axle is it's low pinion.
 
well its a compromise because with a low pinion waggy axle you get similar wms, 760 joints, and no cast wedges. I could definately look past the low pinion for its other benefits.
 
More people out there with LP axles than HP. In some places its easier to order a set of bolt-on portals than find a HP axle.

I'm use to seein duece and a 1/2's and 5tons on tractor tires. I forget about HP and LP axles haha.

My rear axle is built to Early Bronco width with 31 spline BB ends.

The low pinion actually helps out with my build as Im trying to keep it low so the LP helps me do that.

You could always get a pre 78' F150 D44, narrow it or run some more backspacing. My fullwidth diff on 17x9 runs 1" wider per side then the EB axle on 15x10's and gets you hi pinion. You could also search for some Supercab F150 knuckles as they are flat top and you can run all ford outers.
