oh yeah thats big enuff !

 

Hell I couldn't even afford the tires for it much less a proper drivetrain to turn those meats. I was also wondering is that rear 60 a full float or semi float axle?

 

The rear is a full float

 

That's currently what my Jeep is sitting like.
You gonna stick with the cast wedges?

 

Nope I'm in the process of cutting them off. I ordered the 3 in 1 brackets for coils, shocks and lower links from ballistic fab.

 

You know the wedges are cast in to the axle on that 78 right?Those will be a nightmare to remove.The older years they just welded them on those are simple to cut off.

 

Yep I know. I'm not afraid of cutting and grinding lol

 

You can't cut them off!
On a 78 or 79 , 1/2 ton ford d44 there is a void behind them.

You have to retube the axle if you cut them off

 

Ive got ways, lol I've seen two guys do it and a guy locally had done it. Not worried about it

 

what are you gonna do, slug it? rotate the knuckles while you're at it. hope you're good at measuring twice!

 

Cutting and Welding isn't a foreign thing for me, I'll come up with something! And as a machinists rule.. Measure THREE times!

 

I wanna see pics of this...

 

In for "well I ****ed up"
Lol cast wedges are one with the axle.

 

Yea they are, lol I'll probably just cut them off and add new tube.

 

The problem is adding on to the tube most don't have a big enough welder or the skills to weld it on straight or the know how to do it right.Its best to cut the spot welds pull the tube out replace the whole tube with a axle c welded on the end.
