Ok so i made a thread recently about a waggy 44 front swap. but am toying with some other ideas. one of which is this
i got to thinking about narrowing an HP44 out of something, im not sure out of what would be ideal, im not positive that broncos ever came with HP44s, i know they did LP though. Ford trucks i know of, but not sure on any of the WMS-WMS measurements for any or what would be best to start with, though i am aware they are all full width
also, im not entirely sure how to go about narrowing, ive heard of cutting all off 1 side, or a small bit off both sides, not sure which is the logical way to go. Also, what shafts would i want to shoot for using? Could i in theory narrow the HP44 to fit shafts out of a bronco (if i were to use a ford f-series axle to begin with) and then run a 5x4.5 bolt pattern (ideally)?
lots of questions, but id appreciate all the help i can get. Its really down to the fact i want to retain my 5x4.5 pattern and attain a HP axle and not keep the dana 30. It will be running 35s.
