straight axle conversion

[young_2010_chris]

alright so ive been wantin to convert my hoe to a straight axle and i found a kit that has all brackeets and everything for 600 jus does not come with the axle of course got dual shock hoops...it say so use a dana 44 out of a ford and also the high pionon version is there any other axles that r worth a **** and that also the pumpkin is on the driver side

I'm thinking about the same swap.

I'm going with a ford dana 60! (although they're hard to find) and a divorced ford np205 t-case and a corporate 14 bolt rear axle. (both 8-lug)

There was a stock dana 60 on ebay for $800 and around $275 for shipping...item number: 330425725863

The problem is trying to find a hella stout front axle and stay with 6-lugs. (unless u've got $3-5K to spend on a custom axle)

I'd be interested in the straight axle conversion and 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton parts conversions. I'm new to this forum so I can't PM you though.

Lots of info at GMFS on this...not too many conversions rolling around here. try Pirate 4x4 also
