Help, Salvage yard interchangeable parts. 99 f150 what fits
Long story short i ended up with one of those mid year 98's, so i have a 99 with a bunch of 98 parts.. 4.6 W 5 speed 4X4, i need a wheel hub, the scrap yard around me only has the ones with the spine that runs through and needs greased/ has a cap. Mine is more like an explorer hub, i am wondering if the explorers/ expeditions(there are like 8 of them in the 97-03 range) there. Also any other parts that fit the f150 from other models would be of great help. Bertha(as she is so named) has 240k runs like a champ, but has some undercarriage rust issues that i dont mind fixing because i got the truck for free and such. and the interior is in good shape.
Parts i know i need/want:
Hubs
knuckles( i want to blast and powder a set(yes i have a powder coater))
rear end conversion (i have drums...i hate them)
Random expedition thoughts, i have seen a brake swap, which i have considered which is what makes me think it may work in which case if someone can confirm they fit i will be a happy man and head back to the yard this weekend and play destruct a bunch of expeditions till i find some timken hubs. and calipers to rebuild(i know you need the brackets and such).
ANY HELP IS MAJORLY APPRICIATED. Thank you.

so i have the specs up and there are 2 differences, first the f150 part has a "brake pilot dia E" of 89.9668mm, while the expedition is 92.329mm. so a 2.3622mm difference. also there is the difference of "flange diameter A" on the f150 is 182mm and its 181.2036 on the expy, for a difference of .7964mm. knowing we use hub centric rims i dont know if the size difference will make any change? anyone who knows more about machining have any input?
