recently aquired another ford, a 1990 F250 4x4, only second owner, still under 100k miles! a little too new for my taste though. I was wondering if I could swap front axles for a straight off a 350, I figure that would make lifting it n such easier. If I am mistaken, let me know, if I'm getting in over my head (I've never done an axel swap, but I'm eager to try and mechanically inclined) let me know. also kinda curious if I can just swap bodies with my 86.

 

You can swap a dana 60 from a 350 and you can also swap your bodies without any change in mounts. Bolt up and go. Personally i like the 87-91 interiors. While i also like the 80-86 both have there pros and awesomeness.

 

Many have done it. If you click on "search this forum" at top right and type in sas you will get pages of info.
