Okay everyone, i have a 1981 F150 4x4 With a C6.

What would be the easiest truck to get for a complete solid front axle swap? I've been searching on the forum here: Would a 1977-79 F150 4x4 be the best truck to get to do the swap? Basically i want to be able to buy a truck that doesn't run and swap the rear and front axles (for matching gears) straight across without having to fab (or as little possible). To put it straight forward i want to be able to do it in a day.

Thank You,
Josh

 

There is no bolt-in straight front axle swap for f150 trucks 80-up. Fabrication is required, and a lift is also require to clear the pumpkin.

 

What all has to be fabricated and also how much of a lift?
