hp 44 ?

ok found a 1976 ,or 1977 f150 hp44 are these a good year to be able to swap in my xj , i was just worried about the cast mounts as i want to be able to use my current lift . So I was thinking of using r.e bracket kit i i know some ford axles the cast mounts are part of the tube . And how much wider would this be then my rear xj 44 . I know this has probably been asked a million times , but on dail up , cuz igloos dont get high speed in canada

this will explain alot, see above link.

You should be fine, the shitty axles with the case iron sectino that you are talking about were 78-79.

wider?

well - to set it up properly, you will be removing the inner C's anyway, so you can set it to be whatever width you want...

kept the "stock" width - it looks like this with 33x12.5r15's on a 15x8 with 3.75" BS

a junkyard axle? well just the complete housing - probably around $200-300

a complete setup bolt in housing? probably upwards of $4,000.
