Ihave a 85 jeep wagoneer that i was told has good front and rear axles for a 4 wheel drive setup. Do these old jeeps have gear ratios,axle width,etc that i would be looking for to convert my 65 F-350 to 4 wheel drive ? thanks

 

In my opinion it would be a waste of time.. those axles will probably be much too small for your f350. Check some junkyards and try to find a newer 350 w/ a d60 front end and a sterling rear. They arn't toooo terribly expensive, and will most certainly get the job done trouble free!...
just my .02$

good luck

 

Thanks. I'll now know what to look for. I have time to shop around . Iwont be working on it till this spring but i got to start somewhere. thans for the reply

 

The axles on the wagoneer are a great base for lighter weight 4x4 (like the wagoneer, scout, wrangler, stuff like that), but for the 350 i'd have to agree, you're gonna have to go big.

Thanks for the reply. Its better to find out sooner rather than later.I guess it's another one of my not too cleaver ideas!

 

'twas a very cleaver idea!

. . just a little too light duty - that's all.

FWIW.

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm now checking different options.
Thanks

Most of the time , one puts f-350 axles in the jeep.........

 

Thanks for the reply. What i was after was the quadra trax.Better to know sooner than later. I think i'm going in a different direction with the old truck. thanks

If you check the pumpkins, they are probably on the right hand side of the vehicle, opposite what a Ford needs.

 

Those axles are also going to be too narrow for your application. However, if you are looking to get rid of your waggy axles, lots of folks are looking to put them into their Wranglers. You might check jeep boards and see if you can sell them (if that is what you were looking to do).
