5x5.5 solid front

is there a solid front axle that will bolt up to a 1980-96 f150 that has the 5x5.5 bolt pattern?

maybe a jeep one? although that would probably be too narrow. or maybe an earlier model ford truck?

My 1962 f100 has that pattern on it. Its a dana 44 with leaf springs. I doubt it fits, but you might look into it.

all of the fullsize half ton fords and fsb's are a 5x5.5'' lug pattern from beginning of them until they changed the ifs **** to a metric pattern in 05 or wtfe.

so are all the dodge halftons and ramchargers from beginning till... i still think they are

chevy has scattered 5 lug fullsizes, and they too are 5x5.5''.

Ford half tons until '97 taurus on steroids trucks are 5x5.5 you DAN, then they went metric and stuff.

Chebs are 6 lug

You might be close to being right on teh dodge though, but I think even those newer ones went IFS and maybe metric, but idk..

Nice try :flip:

No Dan. Dodge has some of the older stuff with 5 on 4.5 too, and I have never seen a Chevy with a 5 on 5.5. Just 5 on 5 but that's a two wheel drivw. Nevers seen 5 bolt 4x4 Chevy.

Dan told me in private that come Jan 1, he will no longer be PWD, because he is giving up the drink for drugs.
