So mostly bolt in if you have a lathe to make a bolt however you can probably find something that will fit

Well, I followed 73 crews advice and called WFO and they had the steering arm. I bought it for $150. I have since had my axle housing retubed, I bought original shock mounts and caliper brackets someone had on ebay The guy that retubed my housing removed 1990 Dom # and put the 1979 #. I got 100% all new spicer parts and cleaned and painted everything. Unfortunately thats as far as I’ve gotten. I’m in the process of getting a shop built so my Highboy is on the back burner. The dana 44 is a great axle for now. I’ll post when I do the upgrade but when that will be I dont know. Thanks for your interest

How much did it cost to have the tubing redone? I ask and came across this thread because I bought what I thought was the right thing but I didn't know what I was looking at and it was incorrectly advertised. I bought it a couple weeks ago but picked it up tonight and realized it when I got home. Wondering if it's worth the fight to try to get my money back or just try to build a clone of a 78/9

It cost me $600. I Removed both inner c’s and cleaned them up. then I shortened the passenger side tube. Then i took it to a 4wd shop and they removed drivers side tube and pressed and welded a longer tube then they pressed on the inner c’s and set them up and welded them back on. Then you have to buy new axle shafts. With everything i bought Im probably in it for 3k. Thats about what you would pay for an original condition snofighter but everything is brand new on mine

Did you make a 78/79 out of a later 80-90’s d60? Is the casting leaf spring angle the same?
