I am doing a frame swap on my 92 2wd LWB f150 due to passenger side frame horn damage, and going from long box to Flareside short box. I found an 85 f150 SWB 2wd frame and want to know if the I beams and radius arms will bolt up. I know the I beams were changed at some point in time, but I do not know if it was between 85 and 92. I did a search and nothing came up, so I looked at the bronco graveyard site, and sure enough, the axle pivot bushings are different. I do not know if the difference in bushing will affect the mounting of the I beam.

Any help on this matter is appreciated.

 

Anyone?

I am going to pick up the frame monday, and really don't want to shell out more money for I beams and spindles if I don't have to.

 

I don't know for sure however would think few minutes with a tape measure would answer your question fairly quick.

I could see maybe a difference in radius arm length LWB to short box, maybe tad longer on the LWB perhaps? however can't think of any good reason why the I beams be any different "length" wise.

Take a few key measurements of yours, compare when you get there.

 

Well, I just wanted to know for sure because I have all new brakes and bushings on my 92 front end stuff, and would hate to have to get different stuff for this one.

I am going to a u pull it tomorrow and make measurements.

Now I just need to find a T19 with a 2wd tailshaft.
