Making Progress, Front axle narrowing

Finally gotten my motivation back, and been diving in out in the garage. Started to narrow the mid 70's dana 44HD that I'll be using under my F-3. Not quite done yet, but hoping by the end of the weekend I can get it back together (minus the axle shafts which will be headed to a machine shop).

And just to give some specs, the driver side will be 2.5 narrower, and the passenger 5.5 inches. The finished project will result in and axle 1 inch wider (WMS to WMS) than the stock front axle
