Cool swap or not

I have a '91 ford f-250 with a 7.5l "460" with the independent i-beam suspention. A couple weeks ago i was playing in the snow and on my way back home one of the bearing in the front end seased up and caused the tire to break free i fixed everythign changing the steering knuckle, brake caliper, outer axle ,rotor and the spindle but now my problem is that the 4wd wont engade the parts are all out of a '78 ford 3/4 ton i used the automatic locking hub out of my truck so im not sure if that may be my problem or if its something else i was also corious if it would be easier just to swap out the axle for a soild axle and if so a recommondation

dm_lucky,

Welcome to FTE!

I would highly suggest that you post this down in the off-road forum, as this type of question is common down there.

See you around!
