Hub conversion..

I want to use the Manual locking hubs from my 93 F-250 on my 97 F-250. To get rid of the auto locking hubs. However ive herd you need a warn nut conversion kit? Is this true? Or is it a direct swap?

You do need the nut conversion. Is the 93 the same spindle setup so you can just use it?
