I mean what the f@@@k can I do with this hee hee!


hello, I already have a mustang 2 front ready to fit, was hoping to re drill my axles to 4.5 and lose the 8 lug but I don't think that possible....was going to swap out rear but like in a years time think I am now forced to do early so can get some decent wheels on, hearing ford 9" or explorer 8.8, should I stick with a 2wd if go 8.8 as diff off centre also any year/model/spec that seems to be a favourite many thanks Nathan uk.

 

The easiest swap if you want 5-lug is a 9" out of a '57-'72 F-100. It will, for the most part, just bolt in. You'll end up with a 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern though, which will be different from the 5 on 4 1/2" of a Mustang II. It would be much easier, however, to re drill for the correct pattern.

 

hi, many thanks this exaxtly what im after, yes easier to re drill, nothing I can do with what I got especially with that "sticking out bit" in middle

 

What Mustang II front are you using, and what wheel bolt pattern are you set up with?

 

hello a kit from speedway, be a 4.5 on 5. my leaf springs odd no and broken,the steering box as vauge as,shackles gone and spring eyelets resting on chassis,eyelet rubbers shot,steering ends shot, brakes..........at that point of making list I thought easier to tear out and throw, replace with something nice

 

found this exploded pic, reakon possible for decent machine shop to convert it to 4.5
