Any one taken the HP pumpkin off of a F-250 front axle and mated it to a set of Waggy front tubes?
I was just wondering, I have both lying around and thought, MMMMM...

Interesting concept...
I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'd be able to weld the tubes in and get the caster and pinion angle you want.
I'm wondering how to get the tubes OUT of the pumpkin, though.
I'm not so sure about that, he might be better off getting a good supply of cheap booze and getting the rest of the MWC to work on it for him.
Sean, cast mounts with multi piece tubes are 3" or 3.25" OD tubes. The welded mounts with one piece tubes are 2.75" the same as your waggy.
You could do that with the earlier style, but you would be pure bark eater to want to.
1. Getting the plug welds cleaned out of the housing is a bieatch unless it chucked in a mill. Since it's a round tube you end up having to cut into the crown to get them all out. Then you have to press the tubes out.
2. Gots to do dat four times. (once for each tube if your missing your fingers)
3. Then you have to get the tubes pressed back in. Double bieatch.
Suggestion. Talk oneton into retubing your 44HP to the width for your waggy axles. If he won't find someone else. I think Currie charges $300, WMS machine or one of the others might be cheaper. Save some shipping charges by cutting the tubes off first.
