ok, so ive been looking and dreaming into a ford 9" / HP 44 full width swap, and have found a 76 f-100 HP44 for 150.00
and a 77 f-100 9" for 175.00

and MANY other threads and write ups - few questions...
will these be the same width?
77 had the disk brakes, 297's, locking hubs, but welded mounts, correct?
Spline count on the 9" - i cant seem to find this anywhere, here, pirate, ford forums...
anything wrong with these axles? near as i can tell the "bad" axles for me (i dont want to run radius arms) are the 78+ HP 44's and the 77 and older are good - with 76, 77 being the best based on - disks and 297's...
plannin on RE bracketry - though wondering about taking the brackets off the d30 and welding them to the d44?
the hardest one would be the diff housing bracket - that might be a custom fab job...
my intention is to run 33's then 35's - is this too overkill?
thanks guys - sorry to bore with ANNOTHER d44/9" thread
