Monsta I think your right ,he is trying to cook up a deal !
Were going to have to watch this guy,
But i have to side with him cause he like Manuals,not auto's'
'''
As for swapping front axles ,do lots of measurements before undertaking
any swaps.
They tend to change the whole ride of the truck,may not be what your looking for.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-Jun-02 AT 00:28 AM (EST)]in the words of scooby doo "heeehehehe"!
ive always got my gears turnin. i do know that the spring width is all the same. i just do not know about how much of the steering components are gonna work out. also i am not sure about the u-joint. it may be bigger. and i am sure that the solid axle will change the ride height and quality. will get a higher and rougher ride. but hey, its a truck. if ya want a nice ride go get a lincoln. by the way, where are you from maxwedge1964?
