I have a 78 f-250 8 lug HP D44, and a 78 rear dana 60 8 lug. I am planning on narrowing the rear and going semi float, but am only finding dual bolt pattern shafts so I am limited to the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. I have been searching will no luck as to what parts I need to convert my front 44 to 5 on 5.5. Or is there any way i can narrow the rear and still keep it full float, and 8 lug.
I figure it will be easier to convert the front, since I will want new knuckles for hight steer any way. What parts do i need to do this conversion. I assume i need new hubs, and rotors, and maybe new spindles. If you know please help me out. I am just in the gathering parts phase so I have time to search. thanks.....
also would i be better off to just stay full width and keep it all 8 lug, and just get the rear spindles bored out to accept 35 spline FF axles. I am switching to discs in the rear too.
this is all down the road, as I am hoping to build this to be very strong for 35's I would love to stay stock width, but o well...
