Conversion...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-Jun-02 AT 10:11 PM (EST)]I need info on converting a 1986 Ford F-150 4x4, to a soild front straight axle. The parts are no problem, (I live right up the hill from a salvage yard), I just need the info on how to convert it. Also, anyone got info on how to make your own ladder bars?
All input(as usual is thanked)

Is the frame on the '95 the same as on an '86?
