There is axle shafts that connect to the hubs and run into gears that the drive line connects to just like the ifs and then there is a drag link that runs to a steering arm on the passenger knuckle and both knuckles are connected by the tie-rod
If it dont go chrome it!

I would say it was just a hair out of square before the welding they are pretty hard to bend them I would look around for some spindle shims or get a ball joint shim to fix it up! I have spindle shims out in the garage I think if you need one

Wheel wells are sealled up just need to spray them with under coating!

more done today hung the new rear springs on and cut the wheel wells out to clear the 40s. Still not sure if I am gonna run 42s or just 39.5s but there is room for either now!
that little bushing is for my flex plates I have to drill the smaller torque converter pattern on the de flex plate to run the little vg tranny the de turbo tranny is way bigger but I will have to have a custom tail shaft made before I can run the de tranny but that is in the works!!

-

Trent are you in need of a housing? I tried to buy all the ones from jake at b and k years ago but he wanted too much money but i have both a 77 and earlier and a 78-79 here at the house!You could use that axle Trent.. the only problem being it needs to be narrowed down. The only easy way to do this is a WAH...

That was my question. I've seen ONE pre-'78 truck in the junkyards here and it was a '70-'72, the previous body style. Just trying to be cheap/lazy.

The key to what you just said is that you are going to re-sleeve the tube. I believe Mauitrailguy is taking about how peps don't bother with the re-sleeve to make it safe.

There is no sleeving anything when you grind the weld off the C and beat it off the tube cut the tube and put the C back on the tube?!?!?

This is not safe. You should not cut all the way through the inner sleeve. I have heard horror stories of the weld snapping and causing major accidents. This happened to a guy who tried this in the area I live and he went off the road into someones yard.
thats what happens when things are ghetto fab...lol
If you know what your doing it is perfectly safe...cut, inner sleeved, welded =SOLID...I seen it on TV so i think im good to go now...
I guess if that was not safe i should have died years ago! I have been running custom cut axle housings since i could drive!! They come from spicer WELDED to the axle tube all you do is grind the weld remove the C cut the tube and re weld the C on the same way spicer did. Now if all you have is a harbor freight welder i would say dont try it and have a professional do it! I guess i need to post up a few pics of the process?

The better axle is a 77 or earlier f150 that you can just grind a c off the long side cut 3" off it and weld it back on then hang some chevy outers on it!O rly...you mean a Ford d44 with the cast-on RA brackets?

I run royal purple in my vgs and the wifes 4.0 in her 2010 pathy we picked up 2.5 mpgs with the 2010 pathy didnt notice much on my truck but I drive it hard every day but I have not sprung any leaks in the truck and it has 222k on the motor!

He got the hanger and shackle set up from me. The shackle has a bend in it because if you tried to mount the spring directly under the frame back there you would need to be full width or wider to have turning radius. The best axle width is 63 inches up front and the springs are 32 inches center to center if you want to fab your own hanger i can hook you up with a shackle kit?Ive got a couple questions because im going to start collecting parts to do a similar setup on the front of my pathfinder.On the front shackles why is the top section have to flare out so far? why couldnt it be flat? does it move the spring in, out, or is it directly under the frame rail?
how wide did you know to make/order the front spring mount? how do you know how far down to make/position the mount hole?
What exactly do you have to do for steering? i have talked to a guy about crossover and he said i have to be careful with passenger side frame clearance.
could i get more specs on the front mount? i had the intentions of fabing all my own parts, im a fabricator by trade so i have access to all the tools i would need to make all of this (minus shock hoops)
