Question 1. will the axles bolt up to the 79 frame?
Question 2. can i use the 460 motor mounts in the 2 wheel drive for the 4 wheel drive or will i have to get diffrent motor mounts?
Question 3. will all the body bolt on to the 79 frame?

Welcome to the site.
May I suggest titling the thread with the topic ?
This lets us know what to expect & helps other when searching for the topic.
This is mentioned in the Read First FAQ thread
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2) The 460 MM's will fit in the 4x4.
You will need a rear sump oil pan & pump though.
1) If I remember correctly the frames are narrower on the 77.
What date was the 77 assembled ? (it's in the Vin# ..last 6 digits.)
3) see above
4) 6" without lengthening the driveshaft I think

1 axles should fit fine, you might have to move shock and spring mounts IF frame width is diff., but that would be it.
2 Just take the MM off and put them on the 4x4.
3 The body mounts might match up like Mil1ion said.
4 The highest comp. made lift is 9" for a F-150 and I think 4" for a F-250.
Like Mil1ion said 6" would be highest with out lengthening driveshafts, but if your shaft would be to short and longer yoke would fix that.
