Does anyone know the difference between the I-beams of an F150 and F250/350 of the 92-96 year model range?(2wd) Are the spindles interchangable? eg. converting from a 5 lug to 8 lug?
On another note, is the bolt pattern of the 8 lug spindle 8x170mm?
I am not sure if the I-beams or the spindles are interchangable or not. I would suspect that they might be. The bolt pattern is not 8x170mm though, its 8x6.5".
Thanks for the reply. Shortly after I posted this I found out what the bolt pattern was. Now I'm looking for the beams and spindles off a 99 F250 to match the rear end.
On a side note, the 10.5 Sterling out of a Super Duty bolted straight up to the leaf springs. I just had to get the right U bolts and I had a drive shaft made for it. But my speedo still works and the E4OD shifts like it always did. It's a little wider too but it's far from done...
