If you can put a 79 F150 coil spring solid axle in a 80's F150, can you put the same 79 axle assy in a 79 F250? thanks, Elliott

Sorry. I guess I wasn't explicate enough. There is an article in the tech section that led me to beleive that the 79 4X4 F150 coil front end will fit into a 80's F150 with "minor" modifications. My question is; Will the 79 F150 4X4 front axles assy go into a 79 F250 with out "major" modifications. Hope this clarifies my orginal question a little more. Thanks, Elliott

I see I still neglected some info. The F250 is a 2 wheel drive with
the twin I beam suspension. Thanks, Elliott
